Harry checks his wallet for moths
While quantity was lacking the quality was excellent with some new moths for me and a new moth for all of us.
Red-green Carpet
Frosted Orange
Epinotia trigonella - first for all of us. Only 13 previous records (some dubious).
Making the most of the mothless moments I looked for a few things of interest and found these:
Fly-agaric
Shaggy Ink Cap
A fascinating mini beast - a lacewing larvae with
leaf litter glued to it as camouflage I think. Anyone know for sure?
