an almost unbelievably cute lappet moth, a brown leaf mimicking moth with a chonky body and a little snout on the end of its adorable mush.ALT

May we always find comfort, joy and amazement in little marvels of the world like this lappet moth…

This is one we raised from eggs laid in my niece’s moth trap. Here’s it cocoon, made from leaves of its food plant (blackthorn) and silk spun by the caterpillar.
