Oh,  congratulations Metanurb.  i just loved the fine detail of the lacy wings.  Beautiful photo. I was completely torn between yours and Barriedalenick's but went for his in the end.

I know what mine is.   Found it on the annex wall and have seen laods since.  Fabulous when they're open.

I was aksing about BarriedaleNick's moths.

I think they are Owl Butterflies

Thanks.  I've looked it up and, at the risk of defammation, it sounds like the butterfly equivalent of Ace and his fellow Morris dancers - down a few beers and then bash fellow drinkers with sticks ..............
