Was pokin around the hedgerows today with the kids and found a few of these moths.

Kinda looked like fairies fluttering about with those huge antenae.
No idea what its called... any clues?

Lovely pictures Phil. Dunno what the bug is though.

Every mile on a river takes you further from home than every hundred miles on a road.

It's not arson if it's your own stuff
Good picture
CLAP clearly loudly, as an order, with pauses
Nice moth, and good id there Matt. I used to go moth trapping and found all sorts. They are amazing little creatures.
I'm just waiting for Claire Cawley to start screaming hysterically all over this thread.

It worked a treat. Me and the lad used to go out with a moth expert and we learnt a lot of the moths and used to find some real nice ones.
Used to get hornets coming in too, real docile they were..
Some of the hawk moths we would find..
I'll stop there.. I could bore you all night with moth photos..
