07-02 - Pepper & salt butterfly

Biston betularia. Found this one on the window of our garden shed.

Interesting, I would have thought that this was a moth

@joysabin Me too, but in the Dutch wikipedia it is called a "vlinder = butterfly". In the English version it is called a Darwin's moth or peppered moth. It looks as if in Dutch the distinction between moths and butterflies is less strict than in English.
