Yeah, That last one, very fun!
Wow well done. It often goes that way and I also like when you're searching for something else entirely you happen across one of your own ID's.
I had given up on ever identifying this one...identified!
Thanks. It is an interesting one.
That's actually a snappy looking moth. Good one.
