I'm Concorde! - _TNY_0736

You know how the supersonic passenger airplane "Concorde" (and the Russian attempted competitor Tu-144) had a nose which could be dropped a bit to provide better vision when landing?

 

Well, this moth with the delightful name the straw dot (Rivula sericealis) looks to have the same thing going - both in delta wing shape and in lowered nose.

 

I found it outside my front door at about 02.30 at night
