27 May 2011 - Blargowrie, Perthshire
A nice wee catch in the neighbours garden - following on from some rough winds which much have seen the end of many a moth in the area.
Lunar Thorn (I need to check my images from last year to see if I ID'd some thorns correctly back then...)
Grey Pug
Pugs spp - whilst looking similar to the pug above, this beast is 50% bigger. I've tentatively claimed it as Scottish race of Freyer's Pug (ie. Edinburgh Pug)
Pale-shouldered Brocade
Broad-barred White - smart little things Spruce CarpetPug spp - probably Common Pug?
Scalloped Hazel
Lychnis
Caddis fly spp
Caddis fly spp - a very dark species

A good catch last night, including two new species for me - first of which here, the Scorched Wing, as an all time 'wanted' species (and which eluded me last year!)...

18 May 2011 - Didcot, Oxon
Last night's catch was going down in history as one of the more boring events, so was pleased to find this Buttoned Snout lurking in the egg boxes. A new species for me, ID was challenging owing to the lack of a snout...

Not such a good catch as recently, but one gem that made up for things...

Common Pug
