Description

While out in the garden today I managed to find some very interesting insects and photograph them!

From the wings I presume this is a moth, not a butterfly, but I could be wrong - very easily.

If you have any idea what type this is, or how to use Google well, the challenge is on!


Big thanks to IRIS-KUPP for identifying this moth as a Pyrausta purpuralis!
