Mother of Pearl moth – Dragon goes Wild https://padfoot.org.uk Thu, 22 Jun 2017 08:55:53 +0000 en-GB hourly 1 https://padfoot.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/cropped-512a-32x32.jpg Mother of Pearl moth – Dragon goes Wild https://padfoot.org.uk 32 32 Moth identification https://padfoot.org.uk/2017/06/moth-identification/ https://padfoot.org.uk/2017/06/moth-identification/#respond Thu, 22 Jun 2017 22:00:35 +0000 http://padfoot.org.uk/?p=1574 My random act of wildness was made easy today when this moth decided to sit on the outside of the window and pose for a photo!

While butterflies have the colour to make them stand out, moths are surprisingly pretty in their own way – I hadn’t expected this moth to have such delicate fringes on the edges of its wings!

The lighting wasn’t ideal for the photo, but I think it’s a Mother of Pearl moth. According to UK Moths, in certain light the wings seem to have a pearl-like shine.
