#MothOfTheDay is a stunner.

You may recognise it from my profile pic, but one came to visit the #moth box last night. The gloriously beautiful #green and black mosaic of:

MERVEILLE DU JOUR
Griposia aprilina

Larvae feed on oak.

One of my absolute favourite moths of the year.

A 2.5cm arrowhead shaped moth on a finger.  It is a striking mosaic of sage green and black. It has two wiry antennae pointing left and right. It's wings are slightly blurred in the bottom corners as it is vibrating to warm up in preparation for takeoff.
