20 Apr 2021 BLACK ON BLACK

This morning I parked in Main Street to pay a bill at my bank. On returning I noticed, of all things, an exquisite magpie moth resting just below the tread on the driver’s side rear tyre. Its name indicates the moth’s colour. It has black fore wings with a band of white patches two thirds of the way down and a single patch on the hind wings. Its wingspan is 4 cm. Alas, I didn’t have my camera with me.
