Dun-bar / European Dun-bar, Heeswijk-Dintherse Bossen, Netherlands It&#039;s going to be a time struggle for me to contribute anything to this year&#039;s Moth Week, but did manage to do a short trip today and have at least one :)<br /> <br /> This is a daytime active moth.

    One is so much better than none! And, this observation is so cool because it's in a natural habitat AND it blends in so well! Posted 11 months ago

      Thanks! I am kind of unreasonably happy about it because it's at least something. Moreover, surprised it's a species intro, it seems to be quite common. Posted 11 months ago

    Absolutely lovely! I think everyone is struggling right now, and it is okay to prioritize other things over Moth Week :) Posted 11 months ago
