Wrapped in paper-white wings,
hovering ghostly in the cool evening air…
…hairs standing on the back of its head,
the scary or the scared?
oOo
* This is a Ghost Moth (Hepialus humuli) that visited the Limery one evening. It is known to hover in groups, giving the appearance of a floating spectre.

I want to photograph a group of them at some point, to see how ghostlike they actually are! 🙂

What a wonderful photo 🙂
I’ve always loved Moths, and feel they’re rather under-rated, as opposed to their more colourful cousins, the Butterfly.
I’ve often been fascinated by their wonderful markings, but the purity of the Ghost Moth is wonderful 🙂
Hope you can get a video of some 🙂

Thank you, yes, I think moths are underrepresented in the “pretty flying things” group. If I can find a big group of these Ghosts, I will definitely film them! 🙂
