Here's a Six Spotted Burnet (#Zygaena #filipendulae) moth that I found in a meadow at RSPB Scotland Mersehead Nature Reserve in Dumfries, Scotland UK. There were hundreds of them in the meadow. Really cool to see. Isn't he a dapper little guy in his furry black suit?

#FurryFaceFriday. Yes, it's a thing now. A light-brown and white cow peering over a hedge and looking into the camera. Captured whilst on holiday at #Lochmaben in #Scotland, #UK when visiting #RSPBScotland #Mersehead.
