Mike maɪk<p>An unusual daytime visitor <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/InMyGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>InMyGarden</span></a> today, a Brimstone moth </p><p>Opisthograptis luteolata</p><p>I can’t work out why Linnaeus (if it was him) called this genus ‘Opisthograptis’. I know ‘opistho’ is from Greek ‘opisthen’, meaning ‘behind&#39; or ‘rear’, and ‘grap’ may suggest similar Germanic word for ‘hook’. But the connection is probably lost in time.</p><p><a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/moth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>moth</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/lepidoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>lepidoptera</span></a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/brimstoneMoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>brimstoneMoth</span></a> <br /><a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/macros" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>macros</span></a></p>
