Just one star today, a moth that looks almost dowdy at first glance but whose fiery red undertones make it quite different from the others. Even the brown scales on its forewings are reddish and foxy.

The bright red thighs stand out in a frontal view.

From the side, the thick fur collar stands out, and the thighs just give its underside a reddish glow.
Many of its relatives are much more colourful. But it's a nice one to find in my trap.
