Field Notes

Description:

2cm brown patchy moth with hairy legs and short antenna

Habitat:

in a garden with a scattering of other moths although the night was getting colder and all were sluggish

Notes:

it escaped before I could get a decent shot but the ruler is in focus. It is my first Plume Moth so I am going to upload it no matter how bad it looks. File #plume moth 9992
