Emperor Moths 

(Saturnia pavonia) 

The Emperor Moth is one of the largest moths to be found in the UK. The male (pictured) is the smaller of the two sexes and displays gorgeous warm colours of brown and orange compared to the grey-blue tones of the female. Although fairly common in Britain, I haven’t come across one myself and so wanted to honour a drawing to this species and hope others will fall in love with their regal splendor as much as I have. 

Update: Now embellished with gouache gold!

Had a lovely day among friends (@wui_de_lue and @scarlettvonshee) celebrating Beltane in the lush and lovely green of Spring. Ferns, moss, trees and fairy wings. Lots of laughter, giggles and fairy mischief. This is a #nofilter #unedited picture taken on the phone by my friend @wui_de_lue but more pics with camera on the way. I think I have broken my videocamera though in the silliest of accidents :( hoping tomorrow it turns on. On the other hand @hedac and I rescued another bee, she was inert and frozen and after a warm night indoors and sugar and water solution she has gone flying on her own 💜 Moth wings by @costureroreal #enchantedplace #enchantedforest #moth #mothwings #mothfairy #costureroreal #green #beltane #verde #fairy #magicplace #postthepeople #outdoors #wings #alas #emperormoth #polilla
