I'd been getting even more worried about the utter lack of moffs coming to the assorted lights here this year. With the very warm weather we were having, and people with proper moth traps getting plenty, I wondered why. Moth numbers in the last few years have crashed here [as I've said before, you used to get several a floor and usually eight plus species without looking hard and now eight total is a good result]
But, with the break in the weather, with wind and cooler nights, the moths have started appearing! And I've even seen some new ones! :)
So, let us get on with it!
Light Emerald
Green enough to be a very fresh one.
Great Oak Beauty
And what a beauty. :)
Olive-brown one
Previous years' Satin and Willow Beauties looked more like this one, [I thought it wasn't GOB, either until I checked], the books show Great Oak being grey, like the top one.
