@savebutterflies Another shot of the same #moth, in the same location. It hadn’t moved a millimetre.
I really need to give this #hibernation malarkey a go… 😴
Shot on #canon #EOS70D with 50mm lens and 12mm #ExtensionTube, #Godox #flash with diffuser.

#Herald #moths hibernating in the cool, dark abandoned #GunpowderStore at #WWTCastleEspie.
They really are beautiful when you see them up close.
The Gunpowder Store is inaccessible to the public due to a rare #fungus having been discovered there but it means the moths are left in peace… 😴

A group of Herald Moths hibernating in the Gunpowder Store at #WWT #CastleEspie.
It’s cold, dark and damp - sounds miserable - but they seem to like it 🤷♂️
