1 We were only away a week and the garden has grown and grown! There are so many beans to harvest and the arch is almost completely covered. You might just make out the new horse that is being kept in the field at the back.
Clematis over the arch
2 The Agapanthus are opening at last.

3 This pretty little creature was around the garden most of the afternoon but was very hard to catch on camera. I love its furry little body.
Moth or butterfly? Can anyone identify this one for me?

The Agapanthus is absolutely stunning and your garden looks magnificent. I’m sure you must have had a good time away.

Google Images has a feature that lets you drag a picture into the search window. It will look for a similar one to see if your original matches. I tried that with your moth/butterfly. The Google returned sixteen suggested matches, all about the same color as your image. It is possibly a pizza, taco, pastry, salted caramel cookie bar, pasta, open rice, trilobite, bronzed cow bird, or other things not identified. Nothing looked like a moth/butterfly. Sorry.
I think some other method is needed for this ID. 🙂

Beautiful photos, they are such fun and so full of life. They certainly draw you in to their stories.

I’m disappointed. The book only tells me what the differences are between them. Tells me what each creature is, but not the type. Sorry

Thank you for trying. Shelagh has told me it’s a butterfly so now I’ll look it up again. 🙂

Cool 🙂 I will have to see about getting a book with butterflies and insects so I can tell what they are.

Definitely a butterfly (wings are held vertically), but I don’t have a UK book to id it.

Thank you. Now I know that much, I’ll try again to identify it. I’ll let you know. 🙂
