Low numbers in Longwick but some variety

Last night didn't attract many moths here but there were some new arrivals in the form of clouded silver, poplar hawk and treble lines. Three muslin moth was the commonest item on show plus the first white ermine of the year for contrast! The first, and rather lonely, Clepsis Dumicolana appeared by day earlier in the week - seemingly a little earlier than previous years. Finally could someone confirm the identity of the pug please. It looks like Dwarf Pug to me but as it would be new for the garden I thought I would check!

  1. Hi Andrew, even though it is resting there with the wings slightly further forward than usual, you can see the very gently curved leading edge to the fore-wing, the large discal spot and the abdominal band of Dwarf Pug. Nice one!
