#MothOfTheDay did not hang around long. An attempted prize off the egg box and he was off into the nearest tree.
SWALLOW-TAILED
Ourapteryx sambucaria
One of our largest geometers (flat moths!) Common, but rather flighty nightflyers. Larvae primarily feed on ivy.

Original Maya team member. 🏳️🌈 I write about a lot of things, including VFX, and how managers can build healthy teams. But since retiring I'm more likely to post about drawing, baking, biking, rock climbing, photography, animation, #doctorWho, and whatever SF/fantasy or science books I happen to be reading at the moment.

I thought I saw an unusual bee in the garden today, but on closer inspection, it was not a bee at all!
This is the snowberry clearwing, a moth in bee drag. It’s also called the bumblebee moth, the hummingbird moth, or (my favourite) the flying lobster.
I imagine that looking like a bee might deter hungry birds.

#MothOfTheDay
A little warmer last night, but close to a full moon, so lowish expectations.
Delighted to get two:
GREAT PROMINENT
Peridea anceps
Large old beast. Larvae feed on oak.
