There are three temperature scenarios in which I always choose NOT to run fast:
Hot, cold and anywhere in between.

Today’s snailing 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.

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

So that should these lifeforms, some of which we can not even identify beyond the very basics of what modern taxonomy makes allowances for (yet), ever go extinct, we will at have least known they existed. And having known, look. And look again.

Until we find them tucked away in a hidden glade somewhere. Or perhaps in the parking lot of our own apartment complex, amongsr that unsightly cluster of 'weeds' we pass by daily.

Bombycinae Genus indet. sp indet.

This small wild Silk Moth photographed at an urban park in is so nondescript that it can only be identified to sub-family.

And this is why the smaller majority - the invertebrates, matter!

Because there's so much more to wildlife than just the megafauna, and so many places where we may discover it. (1/3)

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).

The oddly named pinion-streaked snout moth.
There were several of these -shaped in the Heath trap at this morning.

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!

Also my first 3) Palpita Vitrealis of 2023 and the sparkliest, mintest 4) Yellow Shell. A real beauty!

The might be a dull name for a but it’s probably the most moth you’ll ever see.
Nevertheless, this was one of the very few to have been recorded in , at (red dot on map).

The second generation of Latticed heath moths is now out and about (they fly during August and September), and I saw several during my walk. They often flit quickly away but this one was more cooperative.

While their exact origin has long being lost to the sands of time, this dainty little moth has been unwittingly distributed across the world, including , where surprise, surprise, the first of its kind was caught, and described!

I told my husband this morning that our daughter called to say she caught some Old Ladies last night, they were bigger than she thought they would be, she kept them for a while to study and photograph, then let them go unharmed. 🤣🤣 I love our hobby

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:
