New visitors

Sometimes you have to go out looking for interesting creatures, but if you’re lucky, they’ll come to you!

Here are 2 visitors that came to my garden recently. One I’d never seen before, and one who has certainly never visited my garden before! Definitely my favourite finds of recent months.

This one is an Antler Moth, with lovely feathery antennae. Took me ages to work out what he was, but I got there in the end. He seems to be enjoying my Hemp Agrimony flowers.

And this one was very exciting! I was working from home, towards the end of June, and was in the kitchen getting a drink when I glanced out the window and realised I had a Golden-ringed Dragonfly in my garden! She was perched on the Knapweed near my pond. So of course I rushed to get my camera and luckily she was in a posing mood and sat there and let me take many photos! Isn’t she beautiful? 🙂
