That’s a very smart moth. Love how it’s described as ferruginous-orange! Nice checkered underwing bit too.

At Ettington Cutting today raking the roadside banks. It’s quite thin grassland and lots of wildflowers but still hard work carrying the cuttings back up the slope!! #volunteer #conservation @bcwarwickshire.bsky.social
Volunteers carrying up the raked piles to the top of the slope where the compost piles are The volunteers cutting, raking, picking up litter & seeding the banks by the roadside
