Having posted a picture of the Toadflax Brocade caterpillar last Sunday (the 7th) and said that no adults were about, I have now seen an adult - hanging on to a different purple toadflax plant in the garden. As it was swinging around in the breeze and not in a very convenient place to take an in situ photo, I potted it up, took its portrait, and then returned it to the plant.
On some adjacent vegetation in the same flower bed, I then found this Scarlet Tiger.
And I only went out in the garden to drink a cup of tea.
