Moths Found on 11 July 2010
Forward to 18 July 2010
moth page, back to 4 July 2010
moth page, to general moths page.
Lots of moths, including many new ones. Those worth photographing were:
- a Toadflax Pug (we had thought it was a
Foxglove Pug, but we were corrected by Sean F and The Hairy Highlander),
- the very pretty Brown China-mark,
- a Hawthorn Moth,
- the very, very tiny Apple Pith Moth, no
bigger than a large grass seed,
- a nice example of the Single-dotted Wave
(previously photographed here),
- another new one in the form of Hedya
salicella using the bird-poo disguise (thanks to Sean F for help with
the ID),
- another newbie: this looked to us like a White-shouldered House Moth
but, as Billsbirding has pointed out, the white colour must actually be some sort
of powder as it covers the eyes as well; he reckons it's a Phycita
roborella though it could possibly be Trachycera advenella,
- two samples of the incredibly variable Garden
Rose Tortrix (previously photographed here,
thanks to The Hairy Highlander again for help with the ID).
