Recently here in the Hotel we’ve had a few moths in the room.
I don’t have a problem with moths, or any animals really, that is until they start flying round my face.
When i have the light on near the bed and with a book or laptop or night, they have a habbit of flying right into your face.

Anyway, today I managed to find the biggest, fattest moth in the room and take a few photos of him.. .as follows:

How would i describe him (for people searching for photos of this moth)..
He was photographed in South Africa, in Durban, he is brown with a big black and brown wings. Very common and with a big white bushy body and huge atenna.

Interesting moth info
The other day on radio 4 I was listening to ‘matrial world‘ (one of my fav radio 4 programs) and they were talking about solar pannels as collecting energy from the sun. So where do moths come in .. ? Well they were saying that efficience is currently only X% but using modern day materials to utilize the most modern technology, they can build a material that is basically like a moths eye, super super black, and its X% more effecive.. here is a link to some info i found about this:

Anywa.. more pics..
