User's notes
I Went through two butterfly apps with 2 different identifications. I got a refund from these 2 apps who can’t correctly identify insects from photos. This is a moth unusually out through the day instead of the night, A Pale grey heath Moth, a Geometer Moth. Photo and video taken by me, screenshots taken by me.
You’ll think there’s just a leaf on the ground but it’s not, so don’t step on it.
