Cinnabar moth caterpillar.

Cinnabar moth caterpillar.
Seen in Lincolnshire on a warm summer’s day. As a moth it has grey/black forewings and hind wings of scarlet with charcoal edging. Found normally in open places during May to August. There numbers have been reported to have fallen by 83% during the last 35 years.
We see again the colours of the Ukraine flag here integrating into the beauty of nature. Let’s hope for peace and happiness soon.

Enjoy the day in peace. Herb

Haha Colin, as my description allures to, this was taken on a warm summers day a few years back in Lincolnshire. So yes, they did think it was summer :)
