Field Notes

Notes:

A colleague drew my attention to a 'large brown moth or butterfly' in the stairwell at work today. When I went to investigate I found the most beautiful (and possibly biggest - wingspan at least 10cm) Granny's Cloak Moth I've ever seen. It's times like this I'm grateful for the flash on the camera - the true beauty of this moth would not be revealed without it.
