Its a while since I have posted any moths on here, so this is a photo blog of some recent ones...
 |
| The Olive. A rare garden record, my third. |
 |
| Top - Dark Marbled Carpet, bottom - Common Marbled Carpet showing clinching underwing of DMC compared to the obvious CMC. |
 |
| Rush Veneer a scarce migrant here. |
 |
| Another scarce migrant, Rusty Dot Pearl. |
 |
| Sallow, I like this one on Fox and Cubs. |
 |
| This drab creature is a first for Northumberland, a Leek Moth. Always good to get a county first. |
 |
| Only my second ever Red Underwing avoiding the trap altogether. Bait especially laid out for this and Old Lady. The latter still not on the Howick list. |
 |
| Scarce Bordered Straw, a garden first of this rare migrant up here. |
 |
| Dark Spectacle, the latest county record by 1 day. |
 |
| My second Northumberland first, a Feathered Ranunculus. A macro first! Get in.... |
 |
| Everyone's fave, Merveille du Jour. |
 |
| Chestnut. |
 |
| Dark Chestnut |
 |
| Red line Quaker. |

Something for everyone there Stewart.
Beautiful moths, I am interested to know have your numbers been down this year ?

Steve - Yes, there always is, a veritable pick n mix.
Amanda - I think slightly down though there have been a lot of interesting species this year.
