Pete's Walks - Burnished Brass

Photo taken on 4/09/11 at Kensworth, Beds.

This is a common moth throughout most of the UK, flying between June and September. It is quite spectacular, with the large area of metallic colours on its wings. There are two forms of this moth, the photo above shows 'f. aurea' and the remaining photos shows 'f. juncta', where the metallic cross-bands are joined.
