This is a Least Carpet Moth! It really is a beauty, I think. People aren't as keen on moths as they are butterflies and I don't understand! Moths are awesome as well.

Yes, I think that's right! For some reason people aren't as keen on moths as they are butterflies!
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice photograph.
All the best Jan
I don't understand why! Thanks Jan :-D
DeleteYou're right, dear Ananka, the Least Carpet Moth is very pretty. Butterflies are more colorful and flutter conspicuously from flower to flower, while moths tend to be more discreet. Perhaps that's why they're often overlooked. But the Least Carpet Moth has a chic pattern, and if it were a dress, it would be described as "elegant."
ReplyDeleteAll the best from Austria, Traude

It is a lovely moth. Perhaps that's why! Thanks :-D

DeleteLinda mariposa. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThanks :-D
Delete...look great to me. Butterflies and moths both belong to the insect order Lepidoptera, and butterflies are technically a subgroup of moths.

ReplyDeleteHow beautifully patterned their wings are!
They really are :-D
DeleteIt's nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Irina :-D
DeleteI think the aversion that people have for moths is a result of them being primarily creatures of the night. Owls and bats suffer from the same animosity. Yet it reality, butterflies are just day-flying moths. Get over it people. Cherish them all!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good point. Exactly David, get over it people! :-D
DeleteThat is beautiful
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it :-D

DeleteYes indeed a very beautiful moth and you got a great shot of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole :-D
DeleteThey are taken for granted. Also, many are smaller than their flamboyant cousins, making their beauty harder to see... Nice shot!!
