Heart & Dart II

This is one of the more drabber moths, although it does have quite distinctive and rather beautiful markings on the forewings.

Heart and dart. What a fabulous name. I didn’t think moths could be so inspiring 😀

🙂 Yes, some of the moth names can be quite interesting, as well as the diverse colours and patterns.

I’m not sure I’d recognise that one again but I’ll look more closely at little brown moths in future.

It is quite startling how many moths are quite colourful or have interesting patterns. Thank you for your comment 🙂
