Ok ok ok... so there were 50 million butterflies in the garden this evening... well, ya know, a few...
Gonna flood you with these coz I LOVE THEM, butterflies that is, teeny tiny some of them are... plus, the extra added bonus of a moth in the conservatory and 2 nekkid dawgs (they just had major haircuts )
Gorgeous moth
Flew, flew away

What beautiful butterly pictures. Your little dog is precious.
I am not sure if this is a real picture or not but I thought I'd post it because it's so cute.

I don't really like bugs but this little guy is really different.

The Red Velvet Mite
You're in luck: The red velvet mite won't attack you, and they're tiny little things -- almost cute! As larvae, they attach themselves to a variety of arthropods and feed parasitically. They will suck blood from a gnat or grasshopper, for instance, sometimes hitching a ride with several other mites.
