It has positioned itself across the gap between two stones so its markings line up almost perfectly with the background. It is a wonder I even saw it.

Camouflage
Fortunately I haven't really got into moths but I do enjoying seeing day-flying moths when I come across them. This one doesn't fly in the day (unless disturbed) but often sits around in the open. It is called Angle Shades (Phlogophora meticulosa). It has very pretty colouration which is spectacularly effective camouflage.
