    Very art nouveaux @wild edges
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    This is moth number 162 and the 461st named species of creature from the garden. I still have a big file of creatures that I can't stick a name to though, and plenty I still need to photograph this year, so I'll be over 500 very soon I hope. :)
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Hello, found this empty case in the greenhouse. Anyone have any idea what is was please. Valerie

    Assuming it's a recent emergence then it'll probably be one of the moths in the link below. Beyond that it's hard to say sorry.

    @wild edges thank you, I’ll look out for it at night. Haven’t seen anything in the daytime. Valerie

    I started my Sunday with a nice pot of Early Grey. I didn't run the trap this weekend because I thought it would be too cold but this one was just stuck to the wall of the house when I went out this morning. I wouldn't have seen it because of the camouflage but the sun was at the right angle to cast a very mothy shadow across the render. I had to go and get a step ladder to catch it though which isn't going to help my reputation with the neighbours :#

    Very early for us but we had a comma butterfly in the garden yesterday. Lovely.
