I recently found this lovely Lime Hawk-moth (Mimas tiliae) on my way home. Moths and butterflies belong to the same order Lepidoptera. However, there are many more species of moths (around 90% of Lepidoptera).

Moths are a perfect example of camouflage. Many moth species are coloured in a way that helps them to meld in perfectly to their environment, whether that’s a leaf or a lichen covered tree.
