Mormo Maura

The Old Lady Moth

This moth has a massive wingspan of up to 65 mm

They have one flying generation a year, from March to August.

They are found in Europe, parts of Africa, and The Middle East.

They actually winter as Larva, which isn’t THAT uncommon, but I thought it was cool.

These moths are endangered.

A good article on this moth

True love is not telling people how figs are pollinated when they're in the middle of eating them even though I know and I'm itching to share the knowledge
