Some Recent Moths...
As you can see the blog has been full of recent posts... not, so here is a quick update on my recent moth trapping activity in the garden.
I was very pleased to see this
Cypress Carpet drop into the garden a couple of weeks ago. A very recent addition to the British list, we can thank our non-native plants for bringing this species to Britain and allowing the species' caterpillar edible footplants...
A Brindled Green
Dryobotodes eremita... (with classy camouflage)
The very attractive Light Emerald
Campaea margaritata and my finger...
Below is one of my favourite moths, the Centre-barred Sallow
Atethmia centrago, never thought I'd find one in my small Surrey garden!
Last but not least, the very wierd and well named Snout Moth
Hypena proboscidalis... note the snout like thingy on its head!
Right, thats it for now. It shouldn't be too long before I post again and I've currently got a few posts on the go at the moment (that will obviously get disrupted by coursework!!), so stick around.
Have a good weekend,
