Description


Today I took this photograph of this butty. Thanks to durleybeachbum I now know what it is: a small magpie moth (Eurrhypara hortulata) This butty has a wingspan of 3 centimeters maximum. This one was resting on a window pane.

I think it might be the 'Small Magpie' moth Eurrhypara hortulata, the size you state is exactly right. What a super pic, I've never seen on of thes 'in the flesh' Thankyou for showing us!

Stunning shot. The brown cape of fur is marvelous. The lighting brings out the contrast in brown and white. Excellent macro.

Wonderful Magpie Moth I have had a few of the Woolly Bear caterpillars I found on some ragwort.. To be accurate this is the Abraxas grossulariata which is found in Europe rather than the similar species found in North America
