Some more delicate, pearlescent box tree moths for your motivational moth enjoyment.

This moth was accidentally introduced to the UK in 2007, and it’s generally described in very unflattering terms and as a pest on ornamental box trees. Which is fkn rude tbh - the moth didn’t ask humans to transport it around the globe in their ridiculously faffy topiary. It’s just doing what moths do, living it’s best life, and I think it’s beautiful regardless.

May we be loved even if we destroy the occasional over-pruned bit of twiddly-ass hedging. (& I would also like to be pearlescent)
