Field Notes

Description:

The Tawny Shears or Pod Lover (Hadena perplexa) is a species of moth of the Noctuidae family. Τhere is quite a range of variation in the ground colour and marking intensity, the darker form is the usual one throughout Europe; as the moth I had spotted and photographed, in Nea Demetrias, Volos city, Greece.

Notes:

In the second pic, a spider tried to attack the moth, but the moth fluttered its wings and made the spider to fall from the wall.
