  In the meantime, here is the June 6 ii morning posting, with a fine photo from Marie O’Shaughnessy, who writes:  I found this lovely Sheep Moth in Uplands Park the afternoon, June 5th , at 3.40pm. It was all ”a-quiver “ for a while and it then settled, but the wings were no longer fully open once the light rain began to fall.  It sure is a pretty colourful moth.
