Description


This is the Mint Moth, only 10 - 15 mm. Latin name : Pyrauster Aurata. Dutch, Muntvlinder. It is a butterfly that is seen during the day too. So a day-active moth. His wings remind me of a sort of embroidery technique, or a Smyrna carpet. I have another capture on which the eyes are brighter, but on this one I thought the wing-texture is just a bit more clear. Thank you very much for your visit, as for your lovely comments on my earlier uploads. Wishing you well.
