B&M[25] - Emperor Moth

18 May 2025 1 74
Male Emperor moth [Saturnia pavonia], sadly deceased. [the grid is 5mm squares]. However, it is a splendid example, note the branched antenna and prominent eye-spots. Found in the garden after a very cold night, it was not actually frosty, but close enough. {apparently, the female has smooth antenna, and although there are eye spots, her colouration would be far greyer, almost monotone}. . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturnia_pavonia
