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
