June 16 catch-up

Not content with finally getting Lime Hawkmoth, a few days later I got the other missing "hawk" that has shunned my garden trap for six years. Also new was Flame Carpet, though unfortunately a partly worn individual.

Pine Hawkmoth - new for garden - 20th June

Flame Carpet - new for garden 21st June

A few moths that I get every year but not particularly commonly were also noted

 Broken-barred Carpet - most of mine have a proper break - 22nd June

 Grass Rivlet - blown across from the chalk hillside - 9th June

 Pale Tussock - a female for a change - 7th June

 Vapourer

White Ermine - 15th June

White-spotted Pug

First weekend of June

A nice selection over the weekend with three NFG (Puss Moth, Shaded Pug and Ingrailed Clay) with a good supporting cast of NFY to go with them, some commoner than others.

Puss Moth - NFG 4th June

Shaded Pug (record photo through the side of glass pot I'm afraid) - uncommon in VC30 and NFG on 2nd June

Freyers Pug

Broken-barred Carpet (local but had a couple last year) - NFY 4th June

Double Square-spot (first for year of a common visitor)

Grass Rivulet (a few of these last year and numerous on the local hills at the moment)

Ingrailed Clay (these seem to be very variable from browsing other images) - NFG 4th June

Shoulder-striped Wainscot (a repeat of last years belated ex-photo discovery)
