I spotted this on our Rosemary plant at about 10.30 in the evening. Very delicate, but I've not been able to identify it.  |

I think this is a Brimstone Moth-Opisthograptis luteolata.
Get it checked out with someone else though.

If you have any problematical ones just let me have a look, if I cant ID it I have my teachers to help me (MTR & Oscar2006) |

I have found the same moth in my house this morning and was also interested to identify it. I have looked at the suggested id and think it is wrong:
1 The brimstone is a butterfly, not a moth
2 It looks quite different.

John | I'm afraid you are wrong in that there is both a butterfly AND a moth called a Brimstone. As previously stated the photo starting the thread is indeed a Brimstone Moth. If your moth is the same, then it's ID will be identical! | | | |
