If anyone can tell me what this type of moth is I will be appreciative. It was reting on our glass table which resides in South Devon U.K. It is hard to tell just how big this creature is, and if I had my time again I would place a ruler by it. It probably would have told you that this moth was about 3 cm long.
This is a Grey Dagger Moth: Many thanks to Judder for the info:

MUMMY'S KISS SACRIFICIAL DAGGER
I got this metal dagger years ago at a Renaissance fair because of the nice Egyptian motif carved on the knives' handle and metal scabbard. Years later saw it popping up on a few low budget films including a softcore porn (don't ask) titled THE MUMMY'S KISS. Since then I have also seen it used on an episode of a Star Trek fan production. It seems this little prop will continue to build its own notoriety with time.
I kinda missed taking pictures of my dolls.
I rewigged dagger back to blonde, i straightened rejeenah's hair.
i didnt change the boys' clothes (especially Johann), ever again. XD
Examples of great workmanship on some Persian daggers. I especially like the ones that are cut out on the blades.
Sign outside the camp read “Under New Management”. There's a coffee pot and cooking utensils, two salami rolls, vine tomatoes and bulbs of garlic hanging from the rail. I guess they must be in France.
If you'd walked or driven through Ironbridge and not known what was going on at Dale End you'd have wondered why there were GI's, RSM's with swagger sticks, Tommies and members of Axis forces strolling about or walking into shops buying Ironbridge pasties.
Located at Dale End Park in the Ironbridge Gorge, re-enactors gave us a reminder of what the home front and battlefields of occupied Europe were like during the Second World War. Featuring Allied, Axis and civilian participants with tents, vehicles, weapons, displays, live action, entertainment, dress, stalls, food and drink all sited over a wide area on the banks of the River Severn. Sadly, the towers of the old power station which would have loomed over and above the site have been demolished.
As far as I know, the re-enactors are unpaid enthusiasts who organise and attend events. Some are walking encyclopaedias and will, if you let them, talk for ages about their chosen role. If you take the time to listen you'll always learn something! Some are excellent actors whilst others just look the part. Visitors like to dress up whilst others I suspect are genuine veterans and ex-service men and women who like to don their uniforms once more. There were vehicles on display and all were of-the-era including civilian motor cars and motorcycles.
There were weapons too, all decommissioned of course, from pistols, rifles, machine guns to anti-tank weapons. There were simulated live firing events too.
Isn't it good that we live in a country where we have many freedoms but can't buy machine pistols or assault rifles plus 200 rounds at the local store? Instead, we can attend events such as this, get dressed up and see and learn all about them, including how lethal they are, over a hot-dog and drink – and still have a great time.
Hopefully, the event will re-convene next year. I believe it had been a regular event until the plague put paid to that and many other things too. This event sponsored the Combat Stress Charity – for more details please see....
