Quite honestly, is there a better-looking moth than Merveille du Jour? A reminder that the moth year is coming to an end. At the garden light-trap this morning @RoseNWF @WansteadBirding @BNAscience @FSCEppingForest @JWFHeal @BadgerVaughan @loudivision @JLowenWildlife

@fussellface They are very difficult to photograph. I was watching 2 on Scilly last week and they just wouldn't stay still!
