Garden Moths and First Wasp of the Year


I found a Satellite (Eupsilia transversa) on the garage window last night - the second garden moth of the year.

I've put the moth trap out for the second time this year as it looks very mild tonight - around ten degrees Centigrade.




I found a wasp flying very angrily round the garage today. A really poor photo (even for a record shot!!) but she wouldn't keep still and I didn't want to mess around for too long before releasing her from the garage.



It seems very early to me but I suspect she has woken up from hibernation due to the mild weather and I hope she finds somewhere else to find shelter.
