The white socks are such a defining feature of this August Thorn I am mystified as to why they are not mentioned in the 2nd ed of Waring and Townsend.  Sunrise at Coed Maidie B, a woodland that produces good numbers of the large showy Emeralds and 7 sp of Thorns. 

Cross Inn

 2 more new ones for me last night were this Oblique Carpet and Feathered Gothic.

Black Arches

 New to me at Cross Inn is this Black Arches.

Llawrcwrt - Oak Hook-tip

 This was the pick of the bunch in the trap this morning. I don't recall seeing one before and I think it may be a first for the site.

From Llawrcwrt ref. previous post

I caught this last night and have recorded it as a Golden-Rod Pug after checking with Tony.

It looks pretty much like the the two Peter's moths to me. My confidence is boosted by the fact that we have Golden-rod close to where the trap was set.

I would have entered this as a comment, but couldn't find a way of dropping a picture into the comment box.
 

White-spotted Pug?

 I had recorded this as a White-spotted Pug, new for me, but the previous post by Pete Skinner has me wondering: any thoughts?

?White-spotted Pug

 It does appear to have the white spots on the sides of the abdomen; on the other hand, you could place it directly next to Pete's Golden-rod Pug and be pushed to tell the difference!

Edit 21 August: I thought a crop from the original image might show the (tiny) abdominal white spots more clearly:

Llanarth garden

 Some recent visitors. I was excited when I first saw the Pale Prominent as I did not recognise it with its wings spread.

Penglais moths

 A selection of moths from the last few days, found in the area between the Llanbadarn road and Aber uni:

Yellow-barred Brindle - from a second generation

Treble Bar - only the second time I've seen one in this area

Bucculatrix nigricomella- the first time I've seen a second generation moth. Usually I see them on Oxeye daisies in May/June. This was one of two that came to light.

Ypsolopha horridella - on the same wall every year since 2018, within the same two weeks. This one flew over to sit on my arm.

Clavigesta purdeyi, or Pine Leaf-mining Moth. One of two that came to light.

At home, an Old Lady came to visit us in the garden last week. I popped her in the fridge until she calmed down:

Grey Dagger - Nebo/ Cross Inn

 

Nice to see Grey Dagger in the garden - I usually see them now that I've put some fruit trees in.

Sorry about the poor photo - it's only 6-7mm (has some growing to do)
