A colleague, Brett Westwood, has just reminded me that this weekend, in fact tomorrow is National Moth Night. http://www.nationalmothnight.info/
Lots of these moths, Pyrausta aurata emerging in garden today. They feed on mint and related plants. Small, but great colours.
And I have to agree with Brett, this is one "Bobby Dazzler" Moth, which I don't think I've seen before. I know very little about moths, but as the weather looks set fine this weekend, I think I may have to spend an evening in the garden seeing what comes along, could be fun after a cider or 2 (at least that way I'll be seeing double the number) !!
