Lobesia botrana (fam. Tortricidae)

[ES] Estaba sobre un helecho, pero resulta que es una polilla de la vid. Dice la wikipedia que es una plaga de los viñedos originaria de Italia que se ha extendido por numerosos países de todo el mundo. Las larvas se alimentan de los racimos. Presenta de 2 a 4 generaciones al año, según el clima, y la última pasa el invierno en forma de crisálida.
Fotografiada con poquísima luz.

[EN] I found it on a fern, but it turned out to be a European vine moth. According to wikipedia, it is a plague of vineyards that was spreaded from Italy to many countries around the world. Larvae feed on bunches. They have 2 to 4 generations per year, depending on the climate, and the last generation hibernates as a cocoon.
Photographed with very dim light.

There's something magical about a walk in light rain; a sense of intimacy, a note of vulnerability.

Sharing a couple small discoveries from today. Stay safe.
