One of the most beautiful European Noctuidae. Quite large - the wingspan is about 30-35 mm. You can find it almost everywhere - in gardens, parks, clearings and forests. Adults are on the fly between May and September. Caterpillars foodplants are different plants like: Plantago, Taraxacum, Lamium or Urtica.

Here you can find more info about the species.

Kompozycja bardzo dobra, piekne naturalne kolory. Gdyby nie lekkie zawirowania z ostroscia bylaby idealna fotka. Fajnie ze sie uaktywniles. Czekam na wiecej ;-)
Pozdrawiam

Looks like a old world map!!. Cris wonderful photograph, i know that you are an expert in butterflies and insects , but here this picture could have been better with an appropriate DOF. F 6.3 with 100mm focal length is not ideal , always shoot between F8 - F16. I hope i did not bother you! If i did i'm sorry.

Hi Chris.
Despite you have written that we can find this species almost everywhere it seems to me that I did not meet it. May be I an not so attentive. However, you have reproduced this moth nicely, with loads details, 3D-effect. Old wood is impressive stage for this beauty. My compliments and thanks for sharing.
Alexei.

Hello Chris,
I haven't seen one of these for a long time. It's certainly a very beautiful Moth with a lovely metallic sheen on the wings. Nice low POV and good sharpness and natural colours.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla
