Mint Moth (Pyrausta aurata)
This moth is very similar to the related Pyrausta purpuralis, a slightly larger moth with a broad postmedian continuous band, usually divided into at least three yellow spots.

I saw my first mint moth only a couple of days ago. What beauties they are! 🙂
They are very attractive, Calee.
Beautiful – I’d love to see one of these up here in the Borders, but doubt I ever will.
You might if you find yourself a mint bush, Cara.
