Emerald moths to improve your day - 4: Blotched emerald

This is a species I would love to see for real, but it's not visited me yet (image is by Nigel Voaden.)

It could happen tho... It feeds on oak, and we have some single oak trees left in our housing area (they're under protection orders, luckily.) Also a few acorns buried by squirrels have sprouted in the garden and I'm letting them grow for the moths for as long as I can. So one day this smol gem could drop by!

May we always have beautiful friends like these emeralds to look forward to 🌳💚🦋🤞
