More Lepidoptera

Six-spot Burnet Moth (Zygaena filipendulae) on Scabious. Walking along the disused railway track in Lower Largo, saw a number of these moths. Knapweed and scabious seemed to be the flowers that were attracting them.

 Treble-bar Moth (Aplocera plagiata) This pretty silver grey moth was in the hedge in the garden.

 A ringlet (Aphantopus hyperantus) butterfly, a little bit tatty, at the edge of the disused railway track .

Not a very good picture but I think this is a dark green fritillary (Argynnus aglagia) taken in Dumbarnie Links.
