medusa   16 #2 Posted May 8, 2011 How beautiful! I've got no idea what it is (apart from being a moth, of course) but it's so very pretty.  Just be careful how much you touch it as the hairy moths do tend to have very irritant hairs.

Guest   #4 Posted May 8, 2011 It's a Puss moth, I think. Named for its furriness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Guest   #7 Posted May 8, 2011 Oh my lord! I have never seen anything like it! What are those extra wing/ear things at the front? Looks alien! They're its antennae. It's been disturbed, so it's having a 'sniff' at what's out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

As far as moths go, it's lovely! The link says it's fairly common in Britain but I have never seen one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

evildrneil   14 #12 Posted May 9, 2011 Do you have poplar, aspen or willow in your garden? Their caterpillars feed on them. We used to have a row of poplars at the end of the garden and their rather funky looking caterpillars were regular sights but I've never seen the moth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
