Here is another moth taken yesterday, on oregano (Origanum vulgare) flowers with their nice perfume. This moth is not so common in Belgium.

Euclidia glyphica (Linnaeus, 1758)
Family: Noctuidae
Common names: Burnet Companion [En], Doublure jaune [Fr], Bruine daguil [Nl], Braune Tageule [De]

Wingspan 25-30 mm.

One of the few day-flying moths, this species gets its English name from the fact that it is often found in company with Burnet moths (Zygaena spp.).
It is relatively common in the southern half of Britain, becoming scarcer further north.
It inhabits open woodland, pastures and downland.

Host plants : Medicago sativa, Lotus corniculatus, Vicia cracca, Trifolium spp., Lathyrus pratensis, Hippocrepis comosa.
Distribution: Europe, Asia, North Africa.

Hi Cathy,

This is a very nice macro of a moth. The DOF is very narrow, but most of the moth is very sharp. The frame you chose suits the composition nicely.
TFS and have a nice night!
