After a monster sleep yesterday and the World Cup matches
being more entertaining than previous days I put the light out to see what was
flying. It turned out to be another busy couple of hours with two Elephant
Hawkmoths a few Small Magpies, Heart and Dart and a few more new moths for the
garden attending the light. The Small Magpie seemed to be subdued after a night
in the fridge but promptly flew off before I had photographed it. Hmm! I’m sure
there will be others.
The following are all new moths for my garden:-
 |
| (Buff Ermine) |
A Buff Ermine Spilosoma luteum was my favourite of the night
bar the Elephant Hawkmoths of course.
 |
| (Setaceous Hebrew Character) |
Setaceous Hebrew Character Xestia c-nigrum
 |
| (Riband Wave) |
Riband Wave Idaea aversata.
 |
| (Coronet) |
Coronet Craniophora ligustri coronula.

| (Silver Y) |
