This was special: Witnessed a White Ermine moth emerging from its shell this afternoon.
It is white with small black dots on wings and body. Appeared to have an orange face and fluff on the top of its head.
According to Butterfly Conservation, it is common in the UK, though I have never seen one before. Found, they say, in most rural and urban habitats … gardens, hedgerows, grassland, heathland, moorland, woodland and on the coast.
They are not fussy about food and like Common Nettle and docks, both of which we have in the garden.
Would not show me his face, unfortunately, when I got the camera.

Photograph is looking down on a moth perched on a leaf of a Salvia on the ground. It has a white body with small black dots and a fluffy head.
