New moths & butterflies....and a caterpillar!

It's January and I see a caterpillar....!

It's a Puss Moth Caterpillar - my favourite!

Of course, he's a fake caterpillar, and going to go in a picture frame...

Here are the framed Clearwings.


I have also made framed Buff-tip and Death's dead hawk moth a few months ago.


And new species for badges / magnets!
Pearl bordered fritillary (re-made), Duke of burgundy, Wood white, Rannoch Brindled Beauty, and Vestal (4 variations).
