Silver Y Moth - Autographa gamma

[ladylouise62]

I'm not trying to copy you, Rolf, honest! I suddenly remembered that I needed to bring the washing in and spotted these beauties in the dusk.

I couldn't believe how many there were, and being quite large they really had a big presence. Funnily enough I was thinking how little the bush seemed to be visited - I'm obviously not looking at the right time of day

Excellent shots Louise . Well done

Well you certainly managed to get some cracking shots there Louise, must do some more evening photography myself.

Thanks both of you - I was pretty amazed at how well they came out... it certainly encourages me to go out at night to take some shots.
Mind you - it does make me wonder - am I blinding the poor things with the flash?!
