Rhoose Point

 A bit better last night with 39 species. 


 I think this is Striped Wainscot which would be new for the garden.













Female Oak Eggar.  Two of these.








Dark Arches  f. aethiops.  The first of this form I have seen.  Curious to know if  anyone else gets them?

  1. Looks like a Smoky to me Adam, but can't rule out Southern altogether from this image.

  2. I'd also go for Smoky Wainscot.

  3. Thanks guys - Smoky it is!

    Incidentally I saw several Oak Eggar males flying around the garage door a few hours after I had put the trap away. Presumably the females must have left a trace of pheromone behind in there! Incredible how sensitive their antennae must be.

    Have you returned now Dave? If so I'll put those two moths in the post.
