Eratophyes amasiella

Horrible quality image of this little one sitting on the ceiling of the bathroom (just out of reach, frankly). Just adding it for 504Jane's garden and to show a specimen with more vivid yellow colouring ...

I really love the patterns on this one. And the quality isn't bad! <3 Posted 4 years ago

  Thanks Lisa, yes it's a beautiful little moth :o) I quickly grabbed Jeanette's camera to shoot a few images, before taking a shower and I obviously don't operate her camera too well - on the display the shot looked fine, but on closer inspection .. well, ehhhrr ... a tad disappointing. Moth long gone of course ... Posted 4 years ago
