Colourful and unidentified.

Is it a Moth? Is it a Butterfly? My guess is Butterfly, but I could be wrong.

It has hooked antennae like a Skipper or Police Butterfly. Perhaps it is related.

Whenever I approached it would take off to feed on the other side of the shrub.

To get this shot, I had to stand at quite a distance and zoom in.

Unfortunately it turned out to be a rather noisy shot :(

This little creature seems to have a deformed wing.

It might also be newly hatched and the wing still has some unfolding to do.

The white markings look like a mask 

I can see your heads tilting to the right ;)

Happiness: is the privilege of being able to post a photo on "doomsday"!

There are so many spiders in my garden at the moment. 

This one, however deserved the spot today- it decided to stay put on it's Daisy until the very end!

(of the daisy, that is....)
