Mothing indoors

Loads of things to do still before returning to REGUA in Brazil next month - trail leaflets to finish, maps to create, a butterfly guide to start, updates to the REGUA website etc. So last night I was working late in the living room with the windows open and a light on the window sill. Along with a whole load of micros, this little lot came in:

1 Brimstone Moth
1 Cypress Pug
1 Lesser Yellow Underwing (male)
1 Flounced Rustic
6 Square-spot Rustic
1 Silver Y
4 Willow Beauty (all males)

Not a bad haul considering it was quite windy with heavy rain at times, and I don't have a moth trap. These are the first photos I've taken with my new macro lens. Unfortunately, the light today was very poor but some aren't too bad. Many thanks to Alan Martin for help with some of the IDs.

resting with their wings open.
