Can anyone identify this? I don’t take enough photos of insects (all my dragonfly shots have been failures), but this actually came indoors.
This is fairly close.
Now closer – at a German site for identifying moths and butterflies, it looks like Phragmatobia fuliginosa (Zimtbär – Ruby tiger moth – borealis? more brown than red on top).
I really should be doing something else, at least cleaning that floor. The insect has disappeared, so I never photographed its underwings.
As reported earlier, this fountain has not been moved after all. But they have removed the surrounding basin and low wall. Doesn’t it look nice with the tiled mound?
If I weren’t such a nice person, I’d say they did that so the Turks can’t sit on the edge any longer.
