Whilst photographing the sunset at Cuckmere Haven I stumbled across an area of a few square meters where hundreds of Six-Spot Burnet Moths (Zygaena filipendulae) had chosen to make their chrysalises - they were literally everywhere I looked. Produced some neat pictures of the various stages of metamorphosis.
