@JenniM: I think there are more than one species of moth in this photo. In CNM we try to make each sighting a photo of only one moth individual. Can you crop your photo into sections that each have only one moth please?

I would be interested in the plant - Jenni could you please post the photo again and record "plant / daisy" so that someone can identify the plant species.
The yellow colour of the flower is attractive to insects; I wonder whether it provides what it advertises? But attractors in themself are interesting, because they can be "meet and mate" places.
