I found this moth last week, but have been away so this is first chance to post the photo.
What is interesting is the variation in markings, as was noted when I previously posted a photo of this species (August 2016), with no crimson showing and the markings on the upper fore wing were very pronounced.
The stronger markings appear to be more representative of the species if the selection of images on the web are any guide.
I was pleased to be able to get a showing of the crimson body and a glimpse of the rear wings.
A very attractive moth Ian - lovely to see it showing so many markings :)
ReplyDeletePleased to get this photo as it did give a much better look at the colours. Thank you again for your comments.
