Yes, last night was very busy. The first really busy night I've had in what certainly feels like weeks. This summer hasn't just been abysmal, it has also been pathetic from a moth spotting point of view. Here are the last three moths worth showing, though for the record we had a couple of garden carpets in too. This first one, which I couldn't ID at first I am now convinced is an example of the Mother of Pearl (pleuroptya ruralis).
This one really doesn't like being photographed. Everytime the flash went off it scurried to roost in another part of the room. At first I thought it might have been another example of the exquisitely coloured and curiously shaped little moth that was in the bathroom a few weeks ago but this one lacks the gold trim. May be different sexes.
Finally this one, which I nearly missed. The smallest of the three and lying parallel to the markings in the ceiling, with its colouration it was easy to overlook.
