Forester Moth

Forester moth on flower

We had trouble identifying this moth as to us it looked more blue than green and there do not appear to be any blue moths in our part of the world. However after trawling the web we can confidently say it is a green Forester moth.

The Forester moth is very beautiful and certainly one to watch out for. A day-flying moth, the iridescent greeny-blue wings really catch the sunlight making it one of the more eye-catching moths.

I love the contrast of colours in this picture of the Forester moth on the bright yellow flower.
