Grass moth (Crambus lathoniellus) resting on tip of grass Captured on an evening walk in my home town yesterday. There were many of these around, each step I made triggered a few dozen of them to move, so they were easy to find too.

Captured on an evening walk in my home town yesterday. There were many of these around, each step I made triggered a few dozen of them to move, so they were easy to find too.

    I saw a moth like this as well. I made a picture of it, but far from as nice as yours. Well done! Posted 12 years ago
