Hot, cold and anywhere in between.
Today’s snailing #run is brought to you courtesy of the words HOT, SLOW and LIGHT EMERALD MOTH … mothing being my other hobby … and had nine of these delicate little green flappers visit overnight.

Here are four beauties:
1) Centre-barred Sallow
2) Hoary Footman
3) Setaceous Hebrew Character
4) Clancy’s Rustic

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).

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!

Vegetable moths out last night. The rather pretty 1) Cabbage Moth and 2) Turnip Moth.
Also my first 3) Palpita Vitrealis of 2023 and the sparkliest, mintest 4) Yellow Shell. A real beauty!

Found an Erinnyis sp. this morning, I think it's an ello sphinx. Nice big moth, lovely cryptic coloration. Once I spotted it I went back to admire it a few times.

Some oddities in the trap last night
1) Small Plume - oxyptilus parvidactyla - only 11 officially recorded in Sussex according to Sussex Moth Group.
2) Long-legged tabby - synaphe punctalis - coastally common but rather uncommon around the rest of the country
3) Wormwood Pug - common as muck, but this is my first encounter

Pretty dismal mothing last night. 150+ the other night. Last night, just 8! Weather has been very unkind for weeks although last night was at least dry and cloudy, so did offer some hope. This was the highlight of the 8:
RUBY TIGER

Found an ailanthus webworm moth (Atteva aurea) by the porch light this eve. Lovely pattern. The first time I saw one I thought it was a beetle.

1) the woodchip mimicking PALE PROMINENT
2) the sumptuous TOADFLAX BROCADE
3) the kaleidascopic TREE LICHEN BEAUTY
4) the sanguineous BLOOD VEIN

1) First ever Swallow Prominent (had Lesser SP before)
2) L-album Wainscot
3) Fan-foot (also new for garden)
4) Tiddly tiny Pammene Aurita micromoth
Abysmal numerically, only 16 moths of 13 species … 150+ would not be uncommon in July, which is very concerning from #conservation perspective.
