Still Around - _TNY_1136
I used to find mint moths (Pyrausta aurata) in the thuja hedge we had around the garden - but since it grew ridiculously large over time (5 m / 16' high and 2 m / 7' thick) we took it down this season.
While improving the garden (a lot), this meant ess chance of finding cute purple and gold moths - or so I thought. This one was sitting on the side of the house back in late April (of 2025).
