Pistachio emerald moth (Hethemia pistasciaria), #7084

In spring, these small orangey moths are quite common in woodlands and woodland edges. When fresh they are a lovely brilliant green but turn this colour when old and faded.

Sur son support vert, il offre de magnifique contraste de couleurs. La composition est excellente.

Nice sheen in the yellow wings and especially pretty coupled with the green background.
