Shuttle-shaped Dart
Did you spot it?
Powdered Quaker
Peppered Moth
Oak Hook-tip
Riband Wave
Brussels Lace
One of the Rustics (Square-spot Rustic?)
And best of them all - the Purple-shouldered Thorn.
Did you spot it? Can you see it now?
Even this Lime Hawk-moth has colours and a pattern which forms a camouflage on the right background.

WOW!!! These are such impressive photos, my friend and moths. I am in amazement over both. Greatly done :)
ReplyDeleteEven afte seeing the second photo I had great difficulty spotting the moth in the first photo.
ReplyDeleteOver the years you have tought me to appreciate moths (and many other things). Thank you.
these are AMAZING! I am always so open mouthed wide eyed at nature and how it just takes care of itself in every single situation. Some of these are master pieces! I loved this post! Boy oh boy I learned a great science lesson today!
ReplyDeleteLovely post - classy images! I saw them all, but am in amazement that YOU did.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of that example of natural selection - the industrial melanism in the peppered moth story.
