Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Box Tree Moth - Kill or Cuddle?

I noticed this rather striking moth inside the house today.

Having looked it up on the web, I'm pretty sure it's a box tree moth. The RHS and other gardening websites seem pretty adamant that it's a pest. (Yup, you guessed it attacks box). Apparently it originates form Asia and only arrived in the UK in 2007 (they checked its passport stamps).

They'd have me kill it. It looks far too cute.
