Dragon Goes Wild - Day 47 - Sycamore Moth

After a lot of research, I’m pretty sure this is a Sycamore Moth – it’s most commonly seen in South Eastern England, although it has been spotted in the South West as well. If the moth can blend in this well on a stone wall, I can only imagine how well it could camouflage itself on a Sycamore tree trunk!
