peacocks and commas.

On the chalk cliffs at Durlston Country Park (Swanage) there were a lot of Butterflies about including Adonis Blue
Marbled Whites.
There were many Clouded Yellows around but they never landed so I don't know what their food source is, like Graylings they always close up on landing so it's difficult to get a pic and I didn't.

I love the Dorset coastline and all the Blues that can be seen there. Adonis being the brightest.

I think this a Lulworth Skipper as it has an orange crescent on each forewing, may be wrong!

I captured a picture of a giant moth which I never seen it before. This moth has got transparent holes on its wings where you can see sunrays through the holes. This incredible moth is about 7inchs wide. At first I thought it was a giant butterfly but when I got closer it doesn't respond to my movements whereas butterflies do feel shy and fly away but this thing stood still and when I observed its fat stomach then I concluded that it is a moth. I took a video of this moth. Moths usually look triangle in shape but there are some tiny moths about a inch that we see behind tubelights and this is exactly the same family where this giant moth hanging on my christmas tree belongs. Fairies would have survived if birds were extinct. Do you all know that the life of butterfly is about a week ?
