Wonderful features - the males fly by day but are often also attracted to light at night. Sometimes called 'Rusty Tussocks', the male vapourer moths are a rich brown colour with two distinctive eye spots - one on each forewing.

Oddly cute.
I love how you get so close without them flying off.

Takes a lot of stealth - move the lens half an inch nearer and repeat.
