This is a Pine beauty moth and it took me ages to spot it. Toria's close up photo.
Such a pretty one. First one in our garden this year, I think it was 3 weeks ago.

Wondered it it was one of hers! Amazing that she managed to notice it!

Great photo, nature is wonderful the way everything is coloured and camouflaged.

She'd caught it her moth trap and popped it on the pine for its photo shoot. It was me that was invited to find it.

Yes it stayed there for 8 hours, avoiding predatory eyes before flying off into the trees.
