Surprise guest.

 A bought-in pot of Mint had been left outdoors to replenish it earlier this autumn. After some success I brought it back into the kitchen. After a while I noticed it was being nibbled away. The culprit was allowed to stay and now looks like this:



Probably Angle Shades, with a small possibility of Small Angle Shades. By all accounts they both eat pretty much anything green, but it is quite late in the year and I think the former just about ticks the box.

  1. Hi Andrew Yes from this I'd say most likely Angle Shades, which you can find through the winter on anything herbaceous. Still worth rearing it through just in case its something else.
