Rather than gather dust on the shelf i'd like to pass my first edition micro-moth guide (left) on to a young naturalist. I'll pay the postage of course.

Spot the Purple Emperor!
Having struggled to find many this week as we rapidly approach the end of the season it was amazing to arrive at the @KneppWilding @opwall camp today just as this female gave a particularly showy performance, flying about and feeding on this low roof.
