Red Sword-grass-12
This moth inhabits mainly the west of England, Wales and as far north as Scotland. It occasionally turns up in Southern England where it is considered to be a migrant.
Its extremely well disguised as a stick and when threatened it readily plays dead when it looks even more like a stick and can be rolled around like one too. This makes it difficult to pose for photography so patience is needed !
