Moth Porn

This is not one but two Pink Striped Oakworm Moths. Look closely and you'll see an extra wing poking out where the two wings of the outer moth, the female, come together.


Seems she likes it on top.


A little more obvious in this image. The male has clear wings. At first we thought that it was a single moth with clear underwings. It wasn't until we mentioned it to our friend Ann-Marie Woods, who was visiting for a moth night, that she set us straight. Now I wish I had taken a shot form the other side of the window as well.

And if their union was successful I might get another chance in the not so distant future.
