I found this moth a few weeks ago… It actually took me a while to realise it was there!
Certainly an impressive moth when you get close to it!

About Me
- Liz
- Sheffield, United Kingdom
- Intially this blog was meant as a record of the development of my garden when we first arrived in 2008. Now although it is still a record, I view it more as a photo blog with minimal talking and lots of photos. I enjoy spending time out in the garden, usually staring and doing little else… I garden organically and where possible garden for nature.

I'm not much of a moth lover - they're a bit too fluttery and unpredictable for me, but your photos are amazing ...... and a close up like that I can cope with :)
Hi Liz, I am becoming as fascinated with moths as I am with butterflies and there are so many different types!
Great pictures, the camouflage is amazing!
Love the pictures, Liz. The Silver Y is one of my favourites; it needs to move to be detected!
The LBJ in the world of Moths.
Hi Liz.....I have Y moths here...they are regular visitors. That is probably a second generation moth. It will not survive once the frosts arrive.
It is one of the great migrants of the insect world.
I expect you know all that anyway but I just thought I would bore you to death....
I love your photographs, they are amazing.....
Hi Liz, moths don't bother me... Well if they're in the house they do because they're most likely house moths so I get rid but otherwise they're no problem.
Hi Jan, they're both amazing insects and when you discover just how many thousands of moths there are it's even more so :)
Looking at the photos, I really should've noticed it sooner... But my excuse is that you don't often look closely at dead petals... Hmmm ;)
Hi Yoke, the silver y's actually seem to be one of the more common ones I see around here... That and the orange underwings.
I wish we had the fancier moths, we probably do to be fair but I just never get to see them!
Hi Cheryl, haha actually I didn't know they were migrants! Or actually, I think I'd heard/read it somewhere recently but had forgotten!
I had one hatch last year that I took photos of, I found the chrysallis on a blade of grass as I was weeding (ripped the grass out) and then put it in a plastic carry tank and a few days or so later it came out! I didn't get to see it emerging but took some photos of it, then picked it up and let it fly away.
They may not be as fancy as Hawk Moths...But still amazing when you get close to one!
Well spotted and great photo. One was fluttering against the window the other night and I was too slow to get the camera.
Hi Joanne, thank you so much :)
I never seem to see moths at night... Perhaps because I always close the curtains (I get really scared having the curtains open when it's dark outside... very strange, I know!)
i always notice the moths when they are fluttering away. congatulationd, great shots!in
