Nice end to the month


Some lovely moths turned up last night to mark the end of September: a pair of Frosted Orange, Brindled Green, Red-line Quaker and what I think is the form capucina of the Green-brindled Crescent, above with a Sallow.  Happy times.  Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon

    Hi Martin, that is indeed Green-brindled Crescent. The capucina form can occasionally be much darker than that (almost melanic) but the streak of white by the dorsum always seems to be there.
