I'm Back. Uh-oh...

Moths have been few and far between, and mostly of less than a half dozen species so far this year.

Not good.

I'm hoping it's been the cold nights, but we shall see.

Here's a nice one, for me noctuids are a treat;

White-line Dart

Dark Arches

Two in a week or so? Woo.

 

 

Brown Silver-line

Common on t'Moor, very rare down here.

Some of the more expected;

Buff Ermine

Dark Tussock

Mullein Wave

Plain Pug

[poorly-named]

Box Tree Moth

[slayer of non-native hedging]

Something, possibly, new, now.

Possibly

Isle of Wight Wave

Also?

 

Compare with,

Dwarf Cream Wave

Note DCW lacks the rufous leading edge and has a more rounded forewing and dots inside the trailing edges of both wings.

If IoWW, then they're over from the continent as, as the name suggests, they only [might] breed on Wight.

If.

Anyways, that's enough for now.

I do have some nice pictures [of butterflies] and awful pictures [of everything else] to come, with something maybe like a proper update coming directly.

And more moths.

Heh heh heh...
