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)
What a fine Oak Beauty! I am nominating you for a Very Inspiring Blogger Award here.
