There’s something there but … jeez, I don’t know; it just looks like a discarded paper bag to me

Looks like a ‘Mother Shipton Moth’. Down and left of the manmade thing, to the right of the brown leaf. Cream, beige and dark mottled wings.

Although looking again it could be an adder’s head. But yeah I’ll stick with moth!

I only asked rekoons because he was being half-vague. If I put him down for moth he might, rightly, complain that he didn't nail down his choice as Moth, or, conversely, if it is a Moth then others might complain he didn't actually nail his choice down as a Moth.

Oh yeah. You quoted Rekoons. Apologies, not concentrating.

Uhm yes I would guess moth, but it's prop who found it, not me, so if it turns out to be correct prop guessed it, not me.

Wallaby/Human in a red and white hat
Fish
Tortoise
Snake
Frog
Field Mouse
And no duplicates.
Round 2: (a very lacklustre affair)
Moth x 2

Maybe that’s a butterfly, not a moth.

I could never see it before but it's quite clear in this latest picture. It's almost dead centre.

Good observation. Butterfly it is.

It was indeed a butterfly:
What you see in the hunt pictures are the underside of the wings which are not at all as showy as the upper side.
It's a Painted Lady butterfly, notable for being probably the most common butterfly in the whole world. It is native to the warm, dry climates on the fringes of the Mediterranean, hence the nature of its camouflage colouring, and only visits us in the UK and northern Europe during the warmer months of our summer. The only continent where they can't be found is South America.

I wonder what Chengdufan spotted in the bottom right of the original photo. It definitely looked like the head of either a frog or a newt
Could you zoom in on that section, LDS?
Good thread by the way
