Saw 'this' crawling all over the thistle this afternoon, had no clue what it was. A butterfly of some kind obviously. (No idea what that is crawling 'underneath' the thistle)
It's not. It's a moth. It's called a Five Spot Burnett and it's definitely a moth (Google is our friend (other online search engines are available))
He kind of destroys the myth that I had, that all moths are colourless, drab and boring.
