Gosh!!! I missed it when I first scrolled down!! How the heck did you see it Clive.

A super picture - well done.
 
I like your Green Pug, Clive, is it another of those moths that adopts a vertical posture?

Thanks - as to its posture Jeff, this one did shuffle itself into this orientation but I have seen other apparently happy to stay 'horizontal' so i don't know if it's a consistent preference.
