10 June 2016 - Orlestone Forest - National Moth Night






Spent a few hours in Orlestone Forest for Natioanl moth night - 11 (eleven!) Agrotera nemoralis was the highlight though Scallop Shell is undoubtedly a personal favourite. Pine and Elephant Hawkmoths, Red-necked footman and a few other fun bits ended the evening. I try and put names to the pugs tomorrow...

Hi Ross, the micro captioned as Eucosma campoliliana looks to me like Epinotia bilunana?
