Sometimes the common name of a moth isn't a good match so I rename them. Example: this is the Elegant Grass Veneer. I call it The Grumpy Pumpkin. Scientific name is Microcrambus elegans. This moth is 12-15 mm wingspan.

And here's one of the from my garden. Hebrew Character moths are a common visitor in spring and early summer. They could easily be dismissed as boring and brown, but I get lost in those rich purple-hued patterns. They're named because of the marking on the wing that resemble the hebrew letter נ‎.

I also like moths

Male gypsy moth I trapped in my garden this summer. I know they’re invasive and considered a pest, but a cracking moth.

I'm really into at the moment although the weather's not great for that right now.
