The Herald Moth.

The Herald Moth,Scoliopteryx libatrix,is a particularly attractive moth I think.They hibernate over winter in cold,dark places before they re emerge in the spring.At this time of the year they may be seen still active at night but more likely you may come across them in your outhouse,shed or as in this case,a coal bunker.

Here’s a few images.

About Phil Mclean

Hi, my name is Phil Mclean. I'm a nature photographer living in Berwickshire,in the Scottish Borders.I enjoy photographing all aspects of nature,from the birds and the bees,to the mammals and the trees. I just love being out in the countryside whenever possible and preferably with a camera. Although I do make it difficult for myself,as I'm normally accompanied by my photographic assistant, Ollie,my springer spaniel dog. I hope you'll enjoy the pictures that I post and if you have the time and the inclination,please leave a comment. Thanks.
