Moth ID Please
Hi guys,
This moth flew into the house a couple of nights ago in Germany. Normally I wouldn't bother with moths but this one was large and creamy white so it was hard to resist taking a photo. Regards Last edited by M Cowming : Friday 29th February 2008 at 19:46. |

Its a Swallow-tailed Moth - a large and spectacular Geometrid (they`re moths that hold their wings flat in a butterfly-style when resting) Not rare - but a beauty none-the-less!
