This is a Texas powdered skipper (Systasea pulverulenta). It's a skipper, not the most stunning butterfly, but it is my 590th identified insect species. Always nice to find a lifer Lepidoptera, and even though it's still hot out it's nice to see some signs of fall coming.

Plenty of egg box roosting in the moth trap overnight. Catalogued, photographed and safely released to carry on their mothy business. Some of the nicer ones included:

1) Feathered Ranunculus
2) Nutmeg
3) Grey/Dark Dagger
4) Silver Y
.

The heat seems to have forced many butterflies to take cover but the whites have been out & about.. This shot is of a green-veined white butterfly taking shelter in the hedgerow fern

The night was sultry…
And it brought all the moths to the garden.
Here are four beauties:

1) Centre-barred Sallow
2) Hoary Footman
3) Setaceous Hebrew Character
4) Clancy’s Rustic

A butterfly caught raiding the cat food dish. Was it after cat food or condensation? It has a beautiful subtle color and texture.

Lovely Canary-shouldered thorn (1&2) came to visit last night. Love the vivid yellow head. Compare to the plainer, slightly stubbier … but just as cute … Dusky Thorn (3&4).

Holly Blue (Celastrina argiolus) I think on Ivy (Hedera helix) flowers, the food source for its second brood

Pluvial and crisp last night. A few moths on the wing, especially Pale Mottled Willows and Large Yellow Underwings. Best of the visitors were:

1) Nutmeg
2) White-point
3) Rusty dot pearl
4) Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing flashing a bit of floozy underskirt!
