About Me

My photo
I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)

Narrow - Bordered Bee Hawk Moth

 



This is a Bee Hawk Moth. Well named I think! Certainly looks like a bee. I had never seen such a thing before! I found him at the pond last year and quickly made friends with him.
