Meet the Puss moth, Cerura vinula. It has a Wingspan of 45-70 mm, so relatively large. Common in the UK, but few have seen one, as they are nocturnal. Named for reasons of obvious fluffiness of its dense, white, hair.
All moths are humanely trapped, recorded on the Sussex and UK databases, & safely released.

I usually follow back, & really appreciate boosts.

I had such a positive response to my first moth post, I'll do more. All from my back garden, nocturnal, and released back into the wild.

This is a Puss moth, Cerura vinula, wingspan about 60mm.

I always follow back, and am really grateful for a boost.
