9 minutes

That's all it took for him to find her. No flowers, dinner, wine, chocolates...and 9 minutes later he abandoned her with her abdomen full of fertilised eggs. Vapourer moths, York, England.

Superb. I have never seen the female and only this last few weeks seen a male (in Bristol).

@steveandkerry Thanks, she's still guarding her brood, I've no idea how long she can live. Part of me wanted the moth to be a free flying boy but I also wanted to be able to record something new. She's allowed me to do that.
