Trap out last couple of nights after a long hiatus in my trapping mostly due to the exposure of my garden!
I'm posting this 20 plume as Shane has joined our blog and this is a challenge to him to produce one of his magical super micro images! Its so difficult to see the actual plumes in detail but despite their delicate appearance I have never seen a battered one! So Shane keep a lookout for this one, frequently found indoors, please!
Other moths of interest last night: May Hiflyer almost bang on time, and surprisingly a Red Green Carpet which according to the book must be an over wintered female. It lacked the usual colouration but then I suppose it would be a bit faded if it had spent the winter in my garden.
Welcome back to action Pete!
Hi Liz, just seen this as I've had Covid for the last week and have not done much. I'm stuck in Salisbury too and have not been able to moth trap at home for over 2 weeks now :-(
ReplyDeleteRegards a 20 plume moth high res pic, I got one earlier in April and have it posted on Flickr below:
