THE MAGIC OF THE NIGHT.

Can it really have been so long since I was able to get to this? what with one thing and another time seems to have disappeared, but now it is slowing down, it is time to upload some of the the things I have managed to do.
During this period I decided to put together a very basic Moth trap to see just what was about, and being after dark it did not interfere with other things. So what was about over the last couple of months ?


Angled Shades

Old Lady


Water Boatman


Brimstone


Sliver Y

Pebble Hook


Magpie

Common Marbled Carpet

Poplar Hawk-Moth

Chinese Character

Anania Coronata

Chequered Fruit-tree Tortrix

Red Green Carpet



Sexton Beetle
 
Herald


Twenty Plume

Canary Shouldered Thorn


Frogger

Yellow Shell

A selection of the good looking moths so far found in the trap in the morning and at quite low temperatures and even rain. An unending source of wonder at the colours and variation in style.
With the current dearth in birds this could become a mainstay of sanity for a while to come yet.
Hope you like and come back for more.

cheers
Paul
