Moths: Silver Barred

in #photography • 8 years ago

I couldn't get all that close to this one, and it's not the best of photos: the silver barred (Deltote bankiana), zilverstreep in Dutch.

A pretty little moth, and quite common in The Netherlands according to the books. I don't see them often myself, though. I spotted this one looking for another species deep down in heather (yes, I do spend a lot of time on my knees):


Olympus Stylus 1s, 200mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/400s

It has a wingspan of about 25mm (1"). The range of this species stretches from Spain and France in the West to Japan and Korea in the East. In The Netherlands, it flies from May to August in one generation; occasionally, there is a second generation in September.

Thanks for watching!
