Well, alright a little artistic licence with the title, but these fellas do look like little embers flying about the place

2 lovely shots Tara, I do like these Moths and I always have found them hard to get a descent shot of because of the speed the they fly at and not stopping for long on each flower head.
The Brimstone looks good on its fav flower.

Thanks guys, I’m really lucky that where we live I have access to a reasonable variety of flutterbys and dragons and a variety of habits.
Being able to just step out in to the back garden and then out into the meadow and forest beyond and find these guys is such a privilege...
