What a beautiful photo, and lovely colour on the wings' leading edges.

@bette Is that a Dipteran term?

@steveandkerry I don't know -- but it works for airplanes.

@bette I think there are a load of fancy terms for parts of the moth (and probably flies as well) but I'm too lazy to learn them. 'Leading edge' I like though it would probably cause mutterings at central moth HQ
