Crocus geometer (Xanthotype sp.)

This is a pretty, bright yellow day-flying moth. I saw one in the Butterfly Meadow but couldn't photograph it as it kept ducking down behind vegetation. However, this one was shown to myself and Barry by Isabelle, who said it had been captured a few days ago and left in the centre. We photographed it and then released the poor thing.

Fascinating butterfly very nicely captured! Love the translucent wings and soft colors. V!
