Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Mother of Pearl (Pleuroptya ruralis) moth resting on a rusty-looking Horse Chestnut leaf on a sunny morning in Ipswich's beautiful Christchurch Park. Thanks to the experts in the Facebook Butterflies UK group for the ID. The moth was as big as a regular moth despite the classification of this species as a "micro-moth". I only knew the moth was there because it flew up and perched on the underside of the leaf as I walked past. The moth obligingly stayed still with its 4 wings outstretched as I photographed it. The leaf, like most of the Horse Chestnut leaves in the park, was covered in brown patches. I think these are caused by another moth called, unsurprisingly, the Horse Chestnut Leaf-mining Moth (Cameraria ohridella). |
