A good night in the moth trap and this stunning moth was the best. It is a leopard moth -Zeuzera pyrina. It is recorded as common - but who cares - I think it is a beauty. Definitely the largest moth I have had so far and quite distinctive. Alongside this were a number of heart and darts, a pug that flew off before I could take its portrait and a carpet moth or two- need to look more carefully to see which sort, but a really nice start to the day.
