Basing this very tentative ID on the swellings on the forelegs and the whitish wings, which in a similar thread ended with "probably E. chioptera". Spent most of its time sitting on leaves of day-lilies, here settled on a daffodil. Ornamental garden. Bosham, West Sussex. 06-04-2012 Will van Niekerk attached the following image:  [122.03Kb] Edited by Will van Niekerk on 07-05-2012 13:02 |
