Buses...

Some moths are like buses. One you've not seen before turns up, immediately followed by another two! That happened last night with Feathered Gothic. I took two males off the sheet and found a female in the trap this morning. I wonder if she 'assembled' them?

Feathered Gothics, female far right.

Acleris laterana / comariana

Moose Moth!


Temp down to 11 degrees, but way better than the previous night, nice and calm and overcast.
