I had no idea what I was looking at, this beautifully marked moth with a mad hairdo, sitting on my shed one morning. Looked in my know it all book, Wormwood it said. Is there REALLY a moth called Wormwood? Yes there is, clever people somewhere else confirmed and this was the first seen, photographed, confirmed, recorded in VC62.

It actually blend quite nicely against my needs a paint job shed, I think. OM1 60mm lens stacked in camera I think but can't remember how many shots.
