Forward to 4 June 2006 moth page, back to 6 May 2006 moth page, to general moths page.
The season has begun properly now. Around 20 moths in the trap,
the bulk
being Shuttle-shaped
Dart,
with only one Hebrew
Characters and one Common
Quaker. The impressive newbie was the Mullein
with its delta-shaped wings, its hawk-moth-like body and its impressive
quiff
and serrated back. Other neat bodies came in the form of a Spectacle
(previously seen here), a Light Brocade
(previously seen here,
here
and here),
a
Flame Shoulder
(previously seen here)
and a Garden Carpet
(previously seen here).
Finally
there
were
two pugs -
a Mottled
Pug (previously seen here) and
a non-worn version of the Brindled Pug
previously seen here.
