Rose Chafer!

My first Rose Chafer on the patch this morning - on Red Valerian along the path to the station - I love these guys. Nearby a Nursery-web Spider waiting for its breakfast. Four distant Swifts seen through binoculars beyond the TV mast.

My moth trap produced just three moths this morning and one of them escaped so I was left with a Willow Beauty and a lovely Buff Ermine. Also in the trap was an Ichneumon Wasp - probably either a Netelia or Ophion species.
