Penguin Droppings

By gen2

Were you fooled?

This beast often gets mistaken for a small butterfly but it is definitely a moth.  It is a chimney sweeper, Odezia atrata
It isn't even a colourful moth but I like those two pure white wingtips.  Its name is obviosly derived from its generally sooty black appearance.

Six years ago, I blipped a panel of four moths that can be mistaken for butterflies.  It was posted as an 'extra' here:
