Grey on Silver - _TNY_5420
When getting into the car (to visit the Mjällådalen nature reserve), I discovered this footman moth on the roof of my (metallic silver) car.
Obviously, it had to be photographed before we headed out so I did. I botched the first shot though and got too low and half the moth ended up out of frame so I took a better framed one.
The species is called the scarce footman (Eilema complana - or sometimes complanum).
Another shot of the same moth - with it's reflection showing in the car's paint can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53132501895/
