Micro Moth

Paul Iddon

The main reason for the camera to be pointing at the leaves from the apple tree was to try and capture some shots of one of our Micro moths, a sub-species that apparantly has hundreds of different types.

By micro moth, I assume it is insomuch that whilst small, the narrow wing structure is one of the main reasons for their name.

Anyhow, here is the first one I got, the enviro shot.

Lovely capture Paul - not a micro moth but a plume moth - they are able to furl their wings at rest.
