The Emperor is a large distinctive day flying moth. This is the first we have caught here (though I have heard of others in the area). |
|
Ermines are also a common species the aptly named white ermine is a paticularly handsome moth. |
|
The Bordered Straw is another distinctive moth . |
We catch a considerable number of footman moths during the year- the 4 dotted(right) is probably the least common of the family. |
|
On a good night in summer we catch up to 60 different species in the moth trap
- several hundred species in a year.
