·         Freshly emerged Antler Moths Cerapteryx graminis are comparatively easy to identify as the markings of these Noctuid moths are distinctive (as shown in the first series of photographs of a pristine male). However, the wings may become damaged, losing scales, as the moths age. This moth may sometimes be seen feeding during the day if the weather is favourable. The photographs were taken in Powys, North Wales.
