Close up on a #moth that had the misfortune to land on my door. After his close up, I let him go again back out into the wild. #Strobist #photography

#MothOfTheDay is a stunner.
You may recognise it from my profile pic, but one came to visit the #moth box last night. The gloriously beautiful #green and black mosaic of:
MERVEILLE DU JOUR
Griposia aprilina
Larvae feed on oak.
One of my absolute favourite moths of the year.

From yesterday’s walk the biggest moth EVER! Ok the biggest moth in Europe maybe…the giant peacock moth. Difficult to get a clear photo without disturbing it - hand in one photo for scale!
Final #attack for #artfight2024 ! Had fun with the colors :D

Today's #MothOfTheDay is a nationally scarce micro #moth. But one did visit the moth box Friday night. If you see spindle covered in massive webs, it is likely to be a common, indeterminate form of yponomeuta spindle ermine. This one, with grey suffusion, however, is not common at all:
SCARCE SPINDLE ERMINE
yponomeuta irrorella

🎵 It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights
It's time to meet the Muppet moth
On the Muppet Moth Show tonight🎵
They're back.
ELEPHANT HAWK-MOTH
Deilephila elpenor
Two visitors last night, and arguably our most colourful large moth.

![A side-profile macro photograph of a large Elephant Hawk-moth (about 6cm long and very chunky) resting calmly on the tip of a person's index finger. It faces right. The moth displays a striking, high-contrast colour scheme of deep magenta-pink underneath of its abdomen and golden olive-green on its head and top of abdomen. Its long, aerodynamic wings are held up and slightly swept back as they flap ready for take-off, showing broad stripes of olive-green bordered by thick bands of bright pink. Its head features a smooth, round greenish eye and a thick coat of pink and olive fur, while its long, spindly legs are a stark, contrasting white. The background is a blurred blend of green foliage and purple garden flowers.jpg].](/proxy/post_attachment/1099598/25f97c0c7a.jpeg "A side-profile macro photograph of a large Elephant Hawk-moth (about 6cm long and very chunky) resting calmly on the tip of a person's index finger.

![A direct head-on macro photograph of an Elephant Hawk-moth balancing on the tip of a person's index finger. The moth faces the camera showing its fluffy face covered in deep magenta-pink. Two very large, round, greenish-yellow compound eyes are prominently visible on either side of its pink palps which extend down like two goofy teeth. Extending widely to the left and right are its thick, tapered antennae, which are detailed with fine ridges and coloured in a pale pinkish-orange. The top of its thorax features a thick patch of golden-olive fur. Its long, thin legs are mostly white with pink accents and they extend downward to grip the finger. In the background, its vibrant pink and olive wings are swept upward and slightly out of focus, set against a soft blur of green garden leaves and purple flowers.jpg].](/proxy/post_attachment/1099599/03fc48bb39.jpeg "A direct head-on macro photograph of an Elephant Hawk-moth balancing on the tip of a person's index finger.
