Have you looked at the underside of a Buddleia leaf at 8 o'clock on a Sunday morning? Firstly, this is the time of year that my plants look a little unsightly because there are blobs of cuckoo-spit on them. This froth holds a bug called a froghopper - what a wonderful name! This frothy addition to my garden is around for a couple of weeks and then gone.
What made me get my camera was the sight of the Cinnabar Moth. I've been getting plenty of emails from people who've spotted these and wondered what they were, so I'm glad of the chance to photograph one in my garden. Here's a top view of the Cinnabar moth and a view from the side. (The swivelling body of my Nikon Coolpix 4500 makes it easier to photograph these kind of pictures.)
