So dramatic! I think I like this even better than the spotted one.

You do have the luck. First the children and now the adult. The larvae have been known to turn cannibalistic so perhaps they took a chunk out of mom? You've captured this one in all its bedraggled glory. Great work.

These are my favourite of the moth species, but once again, sadly now rare in London.

There it is! If I'd just looked a little farther in your gallery after seeing the picture of the caterpillars, I would have discovered that this moth comes from them (and I wouldn't have had to go bouncing off to Wikipedia, which yielded the same result but cost me more time. ;-) Anyway, your photos have provided me with a day in which I have learned something, which is always the preferable kind of day. :-D Thanks for posting! Great capture here!
