Sgwarnog: In the Field

By sgwarnog

Munch

This creature has been bugging me for a week. A number of times I've disturbed it as I walk the corridor outside my office at work but then it vanished out of sight before I could get a proper look.

Today it was settled on the wall at eye height, and calm enough for me to fetch my camera and take a few shots. I could see that it was a micro-moth, but it was a new one to me so I called on the experts at Yorkshire Moths to help me out with an id.

It turns out to be a humble Common Clothes Moth, one of those that munches away in your wardrobe. While I've see the impact of their activity I've never met one face to face.

The 2016 Lepidoptera blips are up and running.
