COLOURFUL PESTS !

Meal Moth (Pyralis farinalis)

I found a large number of these moths in my aviaries during breeding season.
Regardless of its status as an annoyance, I think it's pretty and I appreciate
the difference in colour from male to female.


Vine Moth (Phalaenoides glycinae)

Great Western is a renowned wine district and this moth
the bane of viticulturists! It's safe with me, however!
A striking moth.
