Adding to the 75+ males he's had so far this season, on the night of 24th August Robin Knill-Jones in Denham, Bucks had this female Oak Processionary Moth in one of his garden traps. Perhaps not quite such a welcome visitor as Nigel's female Gypsy Moth (which is also a potential pest species), Oak Processionary seems to be well established in the south-east corner of Bucks nowadays despite efforts to control its spread. This particular individual appeared to have off-loaded its supply of eggs already.
