Crimson Speckled Moth

A big image for a tiny moth, so click on it for a bigger view. These moths are all over our village here in Granada at the moment, never seen them before and certainly not in these numbers. They come from Africa and are a hot weather moth.

OMG - that moth is gorgeous! I see hints of your pots in his color scheme -- you sure he's not a ceramic moth -- lol?

Wow. How Fabulous! And so reminiscent of many of your designs. Thanks very much for posting these images.

Their colour and patterning does look distinctly like an African print. Nature in all its glory!
