Mint Moth on Marjoram

Day and night flying moth with gorgeous colours.

I had to look this moth up as I had never seen one before even though I have grown mint most of my adult life. It’s called a Mint Moth but also feeds on marjoram, as here, and on thyme.

As it is quite small, about an inch across, I suppose it is fairly easy to overlook.
