Two beautiful moths, Stewart, particularly the Muslim Moth.
Haha Muslim Moth was that meant as a joke? :)
Emma - Yes its one I've looked at in the books for a while, though smaller than imagined.
BBMM - I'm sure it was a 'typo' :)
Cracker indeed. And the pic of the Pug confirms my ID of the same species I had 3 nights ago. Mothing rocks!
I usually find (white) female Muslin`s resting in the grass. Apparently they`re not easily attracted to light.
Tim - Indeed!
Dean - I read that. I wouldn't know where to start looking for moths 'in the field' by cold searching. I might stumble on some if the weather gets warmer...
"stumble on", that`s all i do when i`m out Stewart. It`s surprising what species you can flush/see when out in the field.
