Pine beauty

Superb little moth. Scarce up here and a new one for me.

In addition to taking beautiful pictures, do you also collect them?

@bette No but I send all the info on what I've caught to the county moth recorder. All good citizen science!

What a stunning specimen.
If he was scaled up, or us down; you just wouldn't argue with it.

@mortoncoe It was a very gentle moth. If there is such a thing as a moth 'jizz' like in birding I would describe it as 'very biddable with an insistence on bringing its wings in very close to the body like a coat' I probably need to get out more...
