That’s brilliant veggie. You’ll have to keep a lookout for babies 
Baby ID and food plants here. No doubt you’ve already looked it up already

Thanks SC. I can provide most of the food items on their menu - certainly plenty of comfrey, nettles and bramble. They were still on the shed an hour ago - in the same position. .

Just a little update. There was only one Moth on the shed door today, very near the bottom, instead of at the top. I think it was smiling.

Lots of Scarlet Tiger Moths around this year. Today I found a pair of them, getting up close and personal on one of my socks that had fallen off the clothes line! I didn't have the heart to disturb them!

Never seen one before but just came across a dead one this morning in among the comfrey I'm harvesting.

They like comfrey - that where I spot most of them (when they're not on the shed door or on socks!).
