Moths: Small Magpie

ocrdu (71)in #photography • 8 years ago

The small magpie (Anania hortulata), brandnetelmot in Dutch, has a wingspan of about 25mm (1") and is found in Europe, Siberia and North America. In The Netherlands it flies in June and July.

Eggs are deposited on nettles, but the caterpillars feed mainly on hedgenettle and mint here.

I don't think it looks like a magpie at all, but it does have a nice pattern; definitely a moth with butterfly aspirations.

Thanks for watching!
