Once you start looking, the diversity of moths is fascinating, even in the most mundane of habitats. Although moths have a reputation for being drab and boring, many of the day-flying species are colourful. Indeed some are spectacular.
From burnet moths, tiger moths and footmen to clearwings, hawkmoths and the emperor moth, you should quickly be able to compile a varied list. Silver Y moths can be abundant in grassland, flitting between flowers with a hummingbird-like flight. Other common moths of grassy places include the Burnet Companion, Mother Shipton and Speckled Yellow.
