First Brimstone moth of the year in our garden last night. 2-3 weeks earlier than previous years. Another new for the year was Nut-tree Tussock, which was just a day earlier than last year. Also, an early Eudonia angustea

Yellow Brimstone moth on a piece of bark, showing its hind wings and the brown blotches on its forewings that give it the appearance of a tired leaf, especially when it settles and flutters its wings as if a leaf in the breeze to deter predators.
