What a difficult moth to photograph. Every time I lifted the pot, it set off determinedly for the edge of the leaf. To get even these shots required several periods in the cold end of the fridge. The moth walks normally then on coming to rest, gradually levers the two 'flag' legs laterally and dorsally. Very odd to watch it repeatedly doing so.Might also have the 4th Pammene aurita for VC31. Looks good but need to do some research - seems too good a run for one night!</blockquote>
