New to me, this day flying moth, a Silver Y, was flitting about rapidly on the lavender, never staying still for a moment. Out of maybe 100 shots there were just a few that were not too badly blurred and relatively in focus. This was maybe the best, head-on, proboscis in flower.
These more give more of an impression:
But they pale into insignificance against this photograph by Ian Alexander, via Wikimedia Commons – one that stayed still, in perfect camouflage.
This shows the silver mark on its wing, which looks a bit like a letter Y.
Wow, this is great Barry, thanks for your persistence.

How wise you are to focus on beauty and write about wonderful nature. A haven of peace in a maelstrom.
