The Olethreutes beauty contest...

The genus Olethreutes comprises a large number of varied and beautifully-marked tortricid moths. They are all rather large (for a tortrix) and robust-looking, often with fantastically complex patterns on the wings. Some of them remind me of wonderfully ornate tudor rugs...if that seems reasonable! Rich colours and swirling lines are the order of the day when one of these lovelies is netted...

As always, these moths were trapped, photographed and released unharmed.
