OT - Moth Identification
I know its mostly OT except that I was digging up a tree root when I saw
this and that nearly counts as DIY. 4 very large moths (2 pairs) each individual moth about the length and diameter of my thumb. Anyone able to identify these (I have looked on google but there are thousands and many of them look alike) Seen in the south of England https://www.dropbox.com/s/1amg3pkcgj...0Copy.jpg?dl=0 -- Chris B (News) |

This makes me unfit for the company of people of a Left persuasion, and all women" |
