An absolute beauty Guy. Often trapped moth images are shown on graph paper, which really does nothing to show off their beauty. These look so much better, more natural!

Perhaps I should get a trap to be able to see species like these!

Thanks for the comments. I was amazed at the moths I was finding in my garden when I got the moth trap, it's a very interesting thing to do!
