Pale Prominent - Pterostoma palpina - a photo on Flickriver

            Our garden, Kent.

This beautiful moth was vibrating it’s wings so had to increase iso and speed to freeze the movement.

Moths heat up their flight muscles by vibrating their wings, since they do not have the radiant energy of the sun (being nocturnal) at their disposal to serve that purpose.
