According to my book it is a Leopard Moth whose larvae can do much damage to the wood of trees. Widespread in Eurasia and North America. Seems to have wandered a bit from the usual habitat but some butterflies do travel enormous distances. This one may have been caught in strong winds?

just as long as the larvae dont eat my car when they hatch , l feel like leaving them alone just to see what happens

The sun comes out for about ten minutes in between showers of monsoon like intensity. No ride today either it seems. I must have left the good weather behind me in Ayrshire as it has been rubbish since I came home.

Checking my geography it seems Eurasia includes the whole of Europe tho’ I imagined it was further east so it is not in fact out of the likely habitat.

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Ah well, the poor wee thing would have been better off laying its eggs further east or at least in a cooler part of Europe . It has been in the upper 30's today and the little eggs have dried out and stuck themselves in one slightly crispy lump to my cars' window

Evening all
black bin is out ready for emptying in the morning

 

[Reynard]

Had a cheese & mushroom omelette, fried potatoes and a tomato salad for supper.

 

[Reynard]

Not bothered to put any bins out for tomorrow. Not enough in either the blue wheelie bin or the black bag to warrant it.

It has just started raining.

I've shut the window on the landing. Lots of dark clouds at sunset, so I don't quite trust leaving it open.

I'll be 70 in October, so will have to do something with my car licence, I think.
My LGV C+E licence expires annually so needs a renewal medical each time.

Wow, I need a medical every year! Outside of regular G.P. visits.

Hah! One of the characters in my story is called Tom Ponsoby-Hart.

Mrs. GA is a hyphen bearer.

Just seen the forecast.

Yep, was right to shut the window.
