Description

A large pink and green camouflaged moth perched on an Iris leaf. The property was alongside the river Thames and the moth was incredibly irresponsive to my presence. There are three River Birches surrounding the boarded container the Iris. Recently one of the Birch trees had an infestation of yellow necked caterpillars.
