Exciting mothage at Galley Head

Wow! This is great! Last two nights have produced lots of goodies! Best of the bunch was an amayzing puss moth, which was just brilliant! I'd found a couple of their caterpillars in the summer last summer, and they are pretty wacky...

but the adult was just fabulous! And great value in the hand!

So presumably fairly local produce!

That night also produced my first ever Dark Sword-grass, and then I had another 5 in the trap this morning - ooo migrants!

Two muslin moths were also pretty special I thought! I love the furry fellas!

Finally, last but not least, a tiny double-striped narrow-winged pug, which was loitering on the white sheet beside the trap this am.

Still only had 12 species in the garden so far but every trip to the moth trap has been exciting so far! Never know what is going to be inside!
