A moth displays its defensive markings as it hangs on a seed head.

If anyone can help me identify the type of moth Id be grateful!

It's a upside brown spotted moth .

Seriously though, you have caught this moth well, it is nice and sharp with a nice soft green background - nothing to distract your eye away from the main subject. I also like your composition leaving a larger space on the left of the image.

The common name is lesser spotted moth, latin name havena cluius. Nice capture anyway!
