More super moths, Stewart. The Buff Ermine is beautiful. There's been a hold up with my trap but delivery is promised for Wednesday. I bought some of the bottles you recommended, thanks.

Some nice species again, Stewart. I had to look twice at that Shears. My blurry eyes were saying Early Grey to start with :-o

Nice moths again! We only caught two on Friday night, didn't bother putting the trap on last night, too cold and wet! We got both buff and white ermine last week.
