Today's moth is an Angle Shades, Phlogophora meticulosa. The wings fold along the body, and the markings resemble a withered brown leaf, for protection from predators.

All moths are humanely trapped, photographed, recorded on the Sussex & UK databases, & safely released.

I usually follow back, & really appreciate boosts. 🙂

I was told this was #AngleShades #Moth #Caterpillar Mid March 2022

Caterpillar ID is not my strong point.
I'm not keen on disturbing them either for a better look.

Hanging out on #Knapweed leaf with #OxeyeDaisy nearby in my urban garden #Wildflowers border.

Looking plump. Moth is a big sized fella. Would be a nice catch for any urban #bats.

Native #Wildflowers are important as are untidy overwintering areas in urban settings for increasing #wildlife.
