Anania funebris227 viewsThis nice little day moth has got a wanted sign on the gate to most or the nature reserves around here at present(2008) It has become very rare although at the right sites I think it is locally quite common, well I have seen plenty anyhow.

Taken at Gait Barrows, and natural England reserve near Silverdale.

Four spot Chaser-skewered367 viewsI have not found out how this could have happened yet. Quite a few knowledgeable people have lloked at this image for me but we are still not certain. The rush it is spiked on is very soft stuff and I can be 99.9% certain that nobody would have done it where I found it, I very much doubt if another human had been there is years/ever!so no easy answer is to be found.May 25, 2008
