Moth, cammo and ghostly apparition.

[Bushwhacker]

I was lucky enough to find an old wildlife book at a car boot sale and duly sat down to read it when this Heart & Dart moth came in and landed right on it.
Note how it's tried to choose a spot that will camouflage it.

I went to take another snap just as it started flapping and the resulting photo shows a ghostly, see-through apparition.

Fantastic photo matey! an omen perhaps? the ghost moth does bless thy book.

Maybe I'm destined to find some coypu tracks!

That must be exactly what it means!
