In The Buff

 Looks like bits of broken twigs, doesn't it? Actually, this is a Buff Tipped Moth! It uses it's camouflage very well. 




The Buff-tip is one of the most recognizable moth species in the British Isles. It is found throughout Europe and in Asia to eastern Siberia.  This moth flies at night in June and July.


🪶 Buff-tipped moth on barky throne,

Wears a twig as camouflage grown.

 Twilight hush, it takes to flight—

 A whisper cloaked in woodland light.


* Of course all my photos are from the web.
