OK, maybe only hardcore Divine Comedy fans will get the title joke, but here are a couple of photos of a Buff-tip moth with a 'smiley face' caught last night in the garden (and spotted by Sophie. I just scribbled 'Buff-t 1' in my moth notebook, and then carried on going through the other 80-odd species in the traps). It looks a bit like Thomas the Tank Engine from the side.... if Thomas the Tank Engine was about 3 cm long and had wings. And legs instead of wheels. And had evolved to look like a broken birch twig.
Looks very Acid House - surprised you didn't photoshop a big fat spliff ....
ReplyDeleteWell that brought a big smile to my fat fuckin face....!
ReplyDeleteps...great chilled music too, as always, from Divine Comedy...[i must get to see this band at some point]..
pps...and as the buff tips arse suggests..."have a nice day"...
Arse? That's actually the head end (front of the thorax) - if you look closely on the large photos you can see its eyes underneath the 'face' bit.
ReplyDeleteOpps...! [chuckle]...! My mistake Andy...[my only defense is that it's far too early in the morning for me to be posting bits on blogs]...
ReplyDeleteps....plus of course....i'm talking out me arse as per usual...
Divine Comedy are great, but I saw them a couple of years ago and they were very crap live. Be warned, Beast.
