Flitting between the showers!

There is a brief window of dry nights between all the rain and I have dug out the moth trap again – horrah!

Here are a few recent lovlies to share with you.

Oak tree tortix – look at the gleam on the wings!

White ermine. King Charles eat your heart out!
Flame carpet. I think carpets take their names from the flat way that their wings sit.

Marbled carpet – self explanatory.

A striking micro moth made large with technology!
Marbled minor – very variable species with the bum of a buff ermine just in view.
This is Porky Prime cat who lives outside and is here enjoying the sunshine on the dismantled light from my moth trap . She eats the moths if she can!

    How do you know all these little moths. I particularly like the oak tree tortix and the white ermine. Furthermore, I love cats – miau, miaou, miaow – whatever language the cat prefers… but above all she enjoys the sun, so do I.
