Hi Tim,
sorry i haven't been around as much as i would like. Last weeks has been crazy busy with so many things to do in the house - The windows from the bedroom - badroom and diningroom were replaced past week.
And the mother of my daughter's friend died unexpectedly past Teusday she was 43 years old and got a pulsation vein crack :o(

It is a verry nice photo from the caterpillar - do you also know which butterfly it will be ?

For Jimmy - here at us the hazelnuts are ready .

Regards and big hugs from me :o)

Cheers Jimmy, Rita

I've come up with Melanchra persicariae the Dot Moth (this after 3/4 of an hour searching online). Here's a link to the nearest photo of it I found of it:

And the site that led me in it's direction (see 14th table down on left hand side):

Best Regards Both,
Tim 'n Hugs :o)x

PS. Apologies all that I've not found myself able recently to reply to all comments/emails/messages sent to me. Times presently continue tricky for me. Here's looking to a better 2008! :o)

I'm sincerely sorry, Rita, for missing this at my first read. Needless to say, my thoughts also go to your daughter's friend's family at this most sad time.

Big Hugs,
Tim and Huggy.
