Our moths tend to be a bit underrated compared to their (sometimes) brighter butterfly cousins. We have a lot of very colourful moth species and the Beautiful Yellow Underwing is a cracking little day flying moth and a heathland specialist. Once they land on the heather their camouflage is so good they just blend into their surroundings and are difficult to spot until they move.
