These are white ermine moths. I like these moths quite a lot; they're very pretty. The amount of spots they have varies between individuals, as you can see in my photos, where their spots follow the same pattern but the first has a few more. I was extremely excited when I found both of these, since most moths I see tend to be small brown ones.

The fluffiest moths are my favourite, I'm always on the lookout for them. I love that such a little creature can make my day immediately better.

I do not believe many will see this post, but I wanted to announce that this once rant blog will serve as a constructive outlet to venture into all the things that makes life worth living (at least for me).

For those who do find this post, I hope you have a wonderful day/evening. Also, here's a cool moth:

A Ermine Moth!
