Seen at Ivinghoe Beacon yesterday.
May possibly be a day-flying moth?  |

I don't know many moths, but I recognised that as a Mother Shipton (the hag's face on the wings). I wish you'd shown it to me when we were at Ivinghoe Beacon, I've never seen one!  |

It was flying near the top of the gully where the orchids were. |

Wow that is a very beautiful moth, I have never seen it before. I love the description of the 'hags face', perfectly sums the pattern up! | | |
