A #pupa or crysalis is hanging seemingly precariously from the stem of one of the #FieldScabious plants on my #allotment in Hove .. to turn into a moth I think but which one?

Any moth people out there with ideas please?

When you observe insects like this lady #Andrenawilkella spend over 30 minutes on a single plant foraging for nectar and pollen in its many flower heads, you know this is a super plant for insects.
Hail to #Knautiaarvensis, the #FieldScabious
Grow it in your garden!
