    Magpie Moth

    Just spotted this little beauty on the garden wall with snail companion.
    Its a Magpie Moth, Abraxas grossulariata 38mm wingspan. Feeds on various shrubs, notably currants and gooseberries. Guess where it was - very close to the blackcurrant bushes!

    Its beautiful VC. Will you become proud mum to multiple catepillars on yer currants, do you think?

          The little snail was quite cute! He crawled up the wall heading for the moth but as he got nearer he deviated off course to skirt the moth's wing, then carried on climbing! I left them both alone to do as they wished
