Forester ~ explored

In Northern Ireland, Forester moths have a very limited distribution, with only 1 site known to have a population hanging on. The site is a tiny boggy glade located in the middle of a large floating forest - which used to be a shallow lake some couple of hundred years ago. Time your visit right, and among the humming of abundant other insects, you could find these tiny little green gems hopping from flower to flower of their favourite nectar-plant; Marsh Cinquefoil.
