Looking at the pictures again Steve's had two bald spots, mine it looks like only one so maybe they are different?

um..me too?
Clifden Nonpareil - not sure if this is the same one Steve Lockley found - I didn't open up the trap until about 9.30am. Like Steve's it flew off so this is the only pose I've got.

Those are indeed different specimens - well done both of you!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting so probably local breeding rather than a migrant. The other possibility is someone is breeding them but I'm not aware of anyone breeding moths in the village.
ReplyDeleteWell done finally some VC 23 ones. I gather also one in Woodcote. Probably just colonising but could be breeding i suppose. Better have your net handy next time!
