Title: Is a myth a female moth?
Post by: Palustris on May 07, 2007, 13:57:14
This sat next to me while I was putting together my new potting bench.
Looks big, but in fact it is about the size of my little finger nail. Beautiful in close up though!

It's Pyrausta aurata a pretty little moth frequently found in gardens.

If it's a myth, it must be an old spinsters tale, an old wives tale would be a mythyth  ;D
