Pah – Moth Balls!

Well, look at this chappie. It seems our Basil is the popular place to be! I found her minding her own business on the Basil in the kitchen. Not sure what sort she is, could be Brown Rustic (Rusina ferruginea) as seen on the quite brilliant UK Moth ID site.

It has weird little spikes all over it if you look closely. Anyway, she's not laying any eggs on my lovely basil for her offspring to chomp their way through! So off she went, into the garden.
