Mother Shipton - Longstone Edge

I've been on the look out for the day flying moth Mother Shipton for the past few weeks but the sunshine today did the job and I managed to photograph the fine example. It's named for the striking pattern of the old hags head on each wing and after the Knaresborough born soothsayer  and prophetess Mother Shipton.
