moth Lime hawk

Fab close up, Sue! The markings and colours are striking.

Nice capture Sue, very striking!

This has great shapes to those wings lovely colours.

Super photo. Well taken.

wow that is beautiful Stera. Toria will be jealous that you have seen one. I don't think there are any limes near by I don't remember seeing any on our local walks.
aren't they beautifully marked.
thanks for sharing

A beauty.

Thankyou! Its been grand to share it. I sent the photo to Staffs Wildlife Trust for identification as I hadn't a clue what it was. Must be 20 years ago since we live with those limes (and the yearly chore of removing the suckers...)

Wonderful photo Sue . . . clever moth to camouflage itself so well!
