SATURDAY, 7TH MARCH



Garden Moths



I put out the moth trap last night (a 15w Actinic Skinner trap). It was fairly mild with a minimum temperature of 7.2 degrees.

I was rewarded with three moths this morning


The beautiful Oak Beauty (Biston strataria) - aren't the antennae lovely?



Dotted Border (Agriopis marginaria) - the females of this species are flightless.




Common Quaker (Orthosia cerasi)
