Male vapourer moth (Rusty Tussock moth, Orgyia antiqua)

Paul Iddon

Wonderful features - the males fly by day but are often also attracted to light at night. Sometimes called 'Rusty Tussocks', the male vapourer moths are a rich brown colour with two distinctive eye spots - one on each forewing.

Paul,

Very nice images.

I have seen a few females but probably never a male.
