Yesterday was apparently the hottest day of the year so far, and with warm, humid and slightly overcast conditions last night, it was the best night for moths in the house so far this year. Managed a few reasonable pics.

| My first Silver Y Autographa gamma of the year |
 |
| Pale Prominent Pterostoma palpina - such a bizarre but cool looking moth! |
 |
| Light Emerald Campaea margaritata |
 |
| Male Willow Beauty Peribatodes rhomboidaria |
 |
| Common Marbled Carpet Chloroclysta truncata |
 |
| Straw Dot Rivula sericealis |
 |
| Bright-line Brown-eye Lacanobia oleracea |
Also this White-shouldered House-moth
Endrosis sarcitrella was kicking about the house on 19th. It's darn difficult getting much closer than this to micros with a 100 mm macro lens. Ummm, I wonder how much that Canon L-series 200 mm macro is...

About the moth trap? Well, after discussions with my good friend Mr Alfrey I'm about to order it, but be warned - when it arrives I'm going to grow my hair, buy a black jacket and a man-bag, wear only shirts that require cufflinks, buy crap-loads of Lush soap, kip on the sofa and rename this blog
Non-stop Mothing.
