Moth fever continues...

Sorry if you don't really like moths. This might be getting a bit boring for you.

But surely you can appreciate the unique... beauty of the male Drinker moth?

The Drinker. The ALF of the moth world.

It was clear last night and so a bit colder than it has been. I had to put on a fleece when I went outside to attend to the trap (at about 5am). We had our lowest number of Privet Hawkmoths yet - 'only' two!

Privet Hawkmoth

Eyed Hawkmoth

Elephant Hawkmoth numbers were up, to 9

To show it's not all moths for me these days, I found this Barn Owl feather on the lawn. Its owner must have dropped it there overnight

The Drinker

I'm informed that the furry caterpillar I saw at Woodwalton this morning is that of The Drinker moth.
