Although descriptions say they have a 10-15 mm wingspan, presumably when in flight, as this one crept from pollen grain to pollen grain around the petals I would estimate that it was about 5-6 mm across. I also managed to take a bit of video:
These are said to be very common daytime flying moths which are active from May to October.
Background sounds include the bee I was originally watching and various whistles and clicks from nearby Starlings.
You got some nice crisp shots of that little moth, John.
ReplyDeleteWilma: It's always hit and miss on close shots with the pocket Nikon as it only has auto focus so I takes lots and hope.
DeleteThat's a great little spot, great shots too

ReplyDeletePretty little moth - I have moth phobia, so that is about as large a moth as I can tolerate.
