These are photos of 2 Five Spotted Burnet moths mating. If you have a keen eye, you'll notice they have some pollen on them. Moths are great pollinators too.
About Me
- Ananka
- 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 :-)
...not very discrete.

ReplyDeleteHaha good one Bill. Thanks :-D
DeleteI'm always amazed at the colors and details that moths have on their wings and especially their antennae. Lovely polka dots. I actually wear a lot of polka dots in the summertime. The colors and dots always seem a happy choice!
ReplyDeleteMoths are wonderful little creatures. I think they deserve more attention. Some of them have wonderful patterns and look amazing. I don't wear polka dots but think they are nice. I like the old 50s style dresses :-D
