Blue ribbon (Catocala fraxini )
Today I met one of the largest moths living in our area - Blue ribbon (Catocala fraxini ) or, as it is also called, Blue Orden Ribbon.
Judging by the appearance of a slightly battered appearance butterfly survived the battle with some nocturnal predator, perhaps a bat. Hid from the enemy in the grass under the trees. Taking a couple of photos, I returned it to the shelter...


Это вроде ночная бабочка. Или я ошибаюсь.
Ночная. Огромная для наших краев. Размах крыльев 11 см...
Вот, вот... огромная.
