Yuk!

Last night, moving away from my table, I was suddenly aware something was creeping up on my wheels and heading for my foot..
They get down to the path and then up the door, through the catflap into the kitchen. My wheels is the first thing they would see underneath my table.




I think I prefer different visitors at night and No One intrudes onto the privacy of my wheels! Not even a slug!
If I had not spotted it I might either have sat onto it the next morning, or had it creeping onto my legs.
Or.. it might have slithered into our bed during the night, from my wheels next to it!.... yuk.

J.J's Debut movie.

On Birding I had posted a short movie, starring JJ, already. This is the original Debut video however which I had hoped to post there first, but things got mixed up. So here he is: Junior, aka JJ.

And like in the movie 'houses', posters of the leading male/female is the by-product of any movie





During the summer I've been seeing a tiny Moth very regularly, without it giving me a good chance to take its photo for an ID. Yesterday I got my wish granted: it was giving me the perfect opportunities to take a picture and then end up with something decent enough to post at the Yahoo-Moth Group, where I hope someone can put a name t this gorgeous little creature.

This picture gives an idea of size, where it is sitting on a hinge of the window. Which is about 8cm high.

"Insect" pictures; I love the structure and way the legs fold in/out and the sharpness of these. They just intrigue me. Don't get me wrong though: I'm not a creepy crawlies type at all> far from it!


And finally: Insect being caught at the bottom of my tub! Insect was very obedient in going into my tub and also at departing later when we went outside. Only problem is, Insect has been back, daily since. Amazing how it flattened itself onto the bottom immediately.
