Field guide No. 691
Night moth with sky filled holes
Mostly night, partly sunny.
A brown moth rests on a pale wall in the dark, and the ragged holes in its wings show a bright blue daytime sky with clouds in it. Something else has been eating moths, and found the day inside.
Field noteHoles should show the wall behind. These open onto a sunny day, while the moth sits in the night.
