A few more new moths for the year last night.
Best of all was a single Dwarf Pug, which feeds on Coniferous trees of which there seems to be very little around here so a nice surprise.
Dwarf it certainly isn't, being slightly bigger than the Common and Double-striped Pugs I have had recently!
A much better example than last year aswell, but could I get the damn thing to pose! A pot shot had to do today.
It being only my 4th personal record, but remarkably we had 5 on a field trip last year.
My records are as follows
Hatfield Broad Oak TL546166 19 Ben Sale Ben Sale 16/05/2009 1 160W MBT Adult
