Moths

A male Winter Moth found in an underpass by Exhibition Park in Newcastle. One of the few moth species active during the winter months in Britain, only the males are able to fly with the females only having vestigial wings.

A Scarlet Tiger moth discovered along the Koenigsweg between the Koenigsbachalm and the Jennerbahn middle station in the Berchtesgardener Alps. The species flies by day and night, with a bright red underwing to warn off any potential predators and which is just about visible in this picture.
