This is the same type of moth I spotted in Mabie forest last year. I think it’s called a cinnabar. It’s very beautiful, I love the colours!
Wow this looks very cool Reece. I have never seen a moth like this before. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Wow Reece, what beautiful colours. I have never seen one like this either. Well spotted.
Great photo Reece!
Such vibrant colours, lovely photo!
You are right Mrs. Jardine, it is called a Cinnabar. Its bright colours let anything that might want to eat it know that it is poisonous. Its caterpillar is also poisonous (it is yellow and black) and feeds on ragwort which is a poisonous plant. Great wildlife spotting Reece.
