"Take Five"*

I'm gradually catching up with blip comments after my drowned laptop issue. The highlight of Day14 of #30DaysWild was capturing the above pristine, newly emerged, five spot burnet moth. They are described as red and black but actually they're a very dark midnight blue. A poignant connection between my image and today's anniversary of the awful Grenfell fire. The cladding on the tower released cyanide as it burned. Burnet moths contain and manufacture cyanide to repel predators and to enhance courtship.
