Golden Beauty

The Gold Spot, a tiny and very beautiful moth one of only 6 in my trap this morning. Very disappointed with the catch since I got a neighbour friendly bulb...
all are released of course after their photoshoot.

Great close-up of a stunning moth!

A very handsome little fellow. Are they always as docile as that when you get them out of the trap?

@rhoing @milaniet @casablanca @fishers many thanks

[Jesika]

@janturnbull not all, and not always. Some fly away as soon as it’s opened, but many are sleeping and happy to pose. I always put the tired ones deep in foliage to protect them after their photo shoot.

Beauty!
