Hightailing It - _TNY_8318
And here's another sweet moth sleeping outside my house when I get home from work.
This one is a male and has the rather wonderful name of small chocolate-tip (Clostera pigra)
The Swedish name is also cool - "pärlgrå högstjärt" actually means pearl-grey hightail (the latter as it likes to hold the rear of the abdomen up like in this shot). The fact that "stjärt" also menas butt makes it a little extra funny.
For a shot of the same little fuzzball, but on my fingertip instead, have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51526997032/
