Sallow


6:th of September 2009
For the second year I have observed this nice yellow/ lilac Moth taking interest in my plums as they ripe in late summer/ early autumn. Last year I caught one in the act of sucking on them at night. Now I find one as I pick the fruit in daytime. The Moth and the plums are in fact exactly the same colour(!) And I think it is a Sallow (Xanthia icteritia). In swedish called (the totally unsexy name): Blekgult gulvingfly.
