Visiting my Buddleja this morning was the uncommon Jersey Tiger Moth, the black with creamy-white lines on the upper wings easily distinguish this moth from the other Tigers which have spots or more complicated patterns on their upper wings. The bright orange underwings give an overall orange impression in flight.

Also seen in the garden today; Silver Y moth, and Brimstone, Red Admiral and Green Veined White butterflies, as well as Beautiful Demoiselle damselflies. Very few bees though, they are badly needed as pollinators.
