We took a trip up to Greenwich Market today, and I kept passing this dusky thorn moth roosting on the wall. It seems to have that cryptic colouring so common in moths that causes it to virtually disappear against tree bark – but the individual way thorn moths have of holding their wings makes it impossible to lie flat! It struck me that it looked more like a bracket fungus, but roosting on a white wall didn’t seem to be the best camouflage strategy. It was there when we arrived at 8:00am and still there when we left at 5:30pm!
