Thursday night offered three new moths and a return of the currently almost ubiquitous Brimstone Moth. One of them last year. I've lost count this year.
While trying to photograph something else this moth flittered within my peripheral vision. Then was well behaved enough to settle in the bath tub for me. It stayed there right up until I attempted to take a second photo with the nail of my little finger in the same shot to provide an indication of scale. Sadly I missed the bath but nearly squashed the moth which flew off (apparently unharmed but indignant). This was the one shot I got in, fortunately not too bad. I reckon about six of them lined up neatly would have fitted on the nail of my not so big little finger. It really was that small.
