Recent Moths

 

A selection of recent moths above.

Swallow-tailed Moth, Blair's Mocha, September Thorn, Ruby Tiger, Spectacle(2), V-pug, Buff-tip, Miller, Dunbar, Garden Tiger

The hot weather ramped up to give the largest count yet, albeit pitifully small compared with 'prope mothers', of 74:34.  However, the numbers fell off a cliff for the next two nights although still producing the first Jersey Tiger of the year plus Cream-bordered Green Pea (new for garden and unexpected). Southern Wainscot was only the second here.

Some are predicting migrant potential over the next couple of days as the heat increases to record levels.
