Early doors

Assuming that my IDs are correct, I had my earliest Dark Sword-grass last night, plus Anania perlucidalis which seems to be doing very nicely. I can't resist also showing a Green Silver-lines, lovely creature. The Emperor moth caterpillars meanwhile continue in fine form; hawthorn suits them much better than the willow which I have previously used. Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon.
