December moth

I too put my trap out on Thursday 9th in the hope of catching another Oak Rustic. Unfortunately one didn't show up but I did catch 26 moths of 7 species. December moth 10, Feathered Thorn 5, Red green carpet 3, Yellow line Quaker 3, November moth 3, Mottled Umber 1 and Brick 1.
I couldn't get over how fluffy the December moth was. Definitely got his winter coat on!

    Nice picture! Their warm clothing always reminds me of my Granny long ago, who knew the virtues of wrapping up warm in wintertime All best M

    Thanks Martin. I was quite pleased with the picture and your granny sounds like a very wise woman!
