Slug Moth (Caffricola vicina) Limacodidae

These are awful pictures but the only ones I was able to get of this beautiful moth. I chased it for hours and could not get near. Eventually I had to resort to using my 300mm lens which as you know does not give much detail on such a small subject from that distance away. Anyway, these will give you an idea of how pretty moths can be.
