    plume

    Thank you, Rob. That is interesting because Stenoptilia bipunctidactyla had been suggested to me but we have only had one record of this over here which was in 2011. So I think I'll make a few more investigations .......... Many thanks for your reply.

    Hampshire Moth ID Please

    Kits, normally Burnished Brass sits with its wings closed. Yours has its wings open which is perhaps why you think it looks different. As David and Martin say, it is a Burnished Brass. Nerine

    carpet for id - Brittany

    For those who may be interested, I've had a reply from Alan Cosson in Brittany to say that this is Tephronia sepiaria and a new species for the Cotes d'Armor (22) ! Nerine

    carpet for id - Brittany

    Thank you for your thoughts, Paul. I still haven't come to a conclusion and I think I'll send my photo to my Brittany contact and see what he thinks. If I get an answer I'll post it on this thread. Thanks again Nerine

    carpet for id - Brittany

    Hi David, what a lovely reply - even though I am none the wiser getting an id for this moth! Thank you for your suggestions but I have a feeling, after browsing the internet, it might be Dusky Carpet Tephronia sepiaria or something near to that. I have a contact in Brittany and will probably...

    June Moths

    I was surprised to find this in the trap this morning - a very late Early Grey. Thirsty Shark - it seemed pleased to be released into the honeysuckle. 33 Heart and Darts in the trap. :eek!: Nerine

    Moths in October

    Thanks, Rob. I've had very few 'new' moths for the garden this year but I have never caught this one before so it was quite exciting - and such a beauty too. I've now learnt not to let the rain put you off trapping! Nerine

    Moths in October

    I thought I'd find a thread for October but as there doesn't seem to be one I may as well start it. I found this lovely Palpita vitrealis in the trap this morning ... I nearly didn't bother to trap, fog and drizzle - but a good few moths around so I'm glad I did! Nerine

    October moths

    Excellent photo, Dave. I had my first Hummingbird hawkmoth for the year in the garden today - on honeysuckle. 32 Flame Brocades in and around the actinic trap this morning. :eek!: Nerine

    October moths

    Is anyone still trapping? Flame Brocades here are doing particularly well - 18 in the trap from last night. Also first Mallow of the year and first Red-line Quaker the previous night. Am still hoping for a few more species for the year: Yellow-line Quaker, White-speck, Oak Rustic, Beaded...

    September Moths 2011

    You deserve a Convolvulous Hawk-moth - 400 species in such a short time! A few recent ones from my garden trap. I was surprised to find Buff Ermine resting outside the trap this morning. Nerine

    September Moths 2011

    Grotty weather here so not much trapping. I've been in Germany and France but only a few opportunities for moth-ing. Feathered Gothic flew through the window - my first (and only) German moth! Back in Brittany a pretty new moth for me in the trap: Oncocera semirubella. Nerine

    August Moths 2011

    How many years has it taken you, and David too, to get almost 700 species? I am in my 5th year of trapping and have caught barely 340 species in my garden. Nerine
