stingingnettle-moth


Nearly stepped on this beauty, sitting on the floor, almost killed it.

But it flew just in time to the windowframe. to show me all of his spots.
Its a moth that lives on stingingnettles as one of my books tells me.
listens to the name:Eurrhypara hortulata.
or a stingingnettle-moth.
I managed to catch him in a glass, to let it fly outside.
Hopefully for him the stingingnettles are above the ground already.
