Bathroom View

Not often I get to see the underneath of a moth.
This one was on the outside of the bathroom window.
The surrounding patterns are formed by the window glass.

I went outside to try to photo a top view but, alas, it flew away.
All I got was a brief glimpse of chestnut brown wings each with a white spot.

Many thanks to Ragged Robin for identifying this as a Vapourer Moth.

    1. Weaver: Usual problem is focus. With clear glass the camera prefers to focus on the grass outside.

  4. Beautiful and unusual photo - love all the markings in the glass :) I think it may have been a Vapourer moth. http://www.hantsmoths.org.uk/species/2026.php (hopefully the link will work).

    1. RR: It's nice to get something visually different once in a while. Your ID looks spot on to me, pardon the pun.
