Hothfield Common: 19 May 2018 - Large Red-belted Clearwing

The sunny conditions yesterday lured me to Hothfield where I put out a 'CUL' pheromone trap. Pleased to catch this single Large Red-belted Clearwing ab. Flavocingulata (NFM). Going to ask Father Christmas if I can have a red one next time...

6 Aug 2016 - Badgells Wood Camp Site, Kent

Made a return visit to Badgells Wood Camp Site near Holy Hill.

The Waved Carpets still around with several caught.

I've only ever caught 'Goodwini' at this site - and cracking they are earlier in the year (see my 2014 picture below).

My target for 2017 is to catch a really fresh Goodwini in May/June - we'll see.
