Drinker Moth

[LCPete]

Had a morning at Whixall looking for Large heaths weather wasn’t good and I realised afterwards that I’m a bit late for them but pleased to find a couple of Oak Eggar moths including this female
Focus stacked R5 and Canon EF 100 IS macro

Thanks Gav, Chris and Jak.

Dead pleased to see them I’ve never seen one before, they have quite bulky bodies so I needed to focus stack to get it all in focus

Nice find Pete and photo. It is The Drinker (Euthrix potatoria) Female and one of my favorite moths.

Thanks Alby and for the ID , I see what you mean it is slightly different and a Drinker moth rather than an Oak Eggar , I’ve updated the title
