Now you see it, now you don't
I accidentally disturbed this silver Y moth Autographa gamma and watched it fly across the garden and then settle. I thought I had pinpointed the spot where it landed but when I went to have a look I couldn't see it at first. It's camouflage was amazingly effective against a background of dead Anchusa leaves and dead wood.
