Today's encounter was a first for me, it was with a moth that was almost as big as me. Because I'd never seen one before, I don't know what type of moth he was, so perhaps one of our readers can help me out. Here he is ...
He might not have been colourful but he certainly was striking. The concrete floor might give you a clue that this encounter didn't take place in the countryside. My encounter actually took place in our garage. This is normally Blue Bear's territory, as he is Chief Mechanic, but on this occasion I was in the garage drying out our tent which had been packed up in a Lake District downpour and come home wet.
The fact that it is a green tent must have confused Mr Moth and made him think he had found a green pasture or wood. No wonder he looked a bit dazed when it all disappeared as I packed up the now dry tent from which he emerged.
Still, at least his dazed state gave us plenty of photo opportunities, so here's a close up of this fine wee beastie ...
Lots of love Chelmer and all at B.U. xxx
