What on earth is this? It's been on my front door all day. I'd love to know what it is and what I should do? I'm a wimp so not into touching it.

It's just a moff, isn't it? Ignore it and it will go away....

That's a moth surely? Having a kip while its bright and hot. I bet he'll be off later and you'll never see him again.

Isn't it two moths together?

ooh yes, two bonking moffs. Still, ignore them, I feel. They will fly away at dusk.

If it is two months, they've been having a great time all day then.

I'm not sure it is though because the 'wing' bits seem to come right up over the head.

At first I thought it was a slug, but the moth-lovers idea is in the lead now.

Prize goes to gin Two moths shagging. Best just to let them get on with it.

Moths a'mating. Smaller one is pointing down. That'll be the male wont it?

I'll swap your moth creature (which I am absolutely terrified of by the way) for the False Widow Spider growing in my window pane.

You were all right. The one on the bottom is gone now and its partner looks more like a moth now they aren't attached.

I don't know what a false widow spider is, but it sounds terrifying. So, thanks but I'll pass on the swap.
