Forward to 30 July 2005 moth page, back to 16 July 2005 moth page, to general moths page.
A cool damp night, hence a small catch. New in the trap was Celypha
striana and a Chinese Character with its
bizarrely unique bird-poo pose. Aside from that, we had one Poplar
Hawk Moth and then a smattering of all the usual suspects for this time of
year (Pinion-streaked
Snouts, Common
Quakers, Dot
Moths, Bright-line
Brown-eyes, Dark
Arches, Riband
Waves, Common
Footman, Heart
and Dart, Least
Carpets, Scoparia
Pyrallela, Shuttle-shaped
Darts and Endotricha
flammealis). Worth photographing were a Small
Emerald (previously seen here),
another Peppered Moth (previously seen here)
and a lovely purple Campion (previously seen here).
