Thanks Peter, I'm intrigued by this face to face coupling that some moths do. What determines the method? I noted the ghost moths I saw lekking and mating in Orkney performed like this as well. re the action: Bri took loads of pics of an extended coupling by Green veined whites yesterday and always the business end of things was carefully enclosed by their wings,very discreet!
What a splendid photo Liz. Very artistic. And I'm so relieved that the female has covered up all the naughty action too.
