Sooty the Moth - EDM 235
EDM Challenge #235 is ‘Butterfly’, however I’ve drawn a black London Peppered Moth which fluttered inside the other day.
Jetting around with this whopping set of wings (about 85mm/3.5”) takes work - it has a big body and rests often, so it wasn’t difficult to catch and return to the wild, or at least someone else’s curtains…. Very black, this moth has evolved from having peppered markings, (designed to blend with lichen), in order to hang out in a sooty city environment. A very urban critter indeed.
