Not all fly-by-nights

Andrew's fabulous photos of the night-flying moths are just half the story.  There are also their day-flying equivalent, though in my experience usually a lot smaller and sometimes less significant.

Some are just as beautiful, however.  The little Emerald moth is my current favourite.  I noticed lots of little grey moths flitting around, and it was only when I looked at my photos that I noticed the emerald body so I think they must be the females. Along with the 6-spotted burnet, they seem to be the most common at the moment.
