Merveille du Jour

A duff shot of a good fresh moth

Not much moss green

Some new garden moths in October

First Brick in the six years we have been here

Stigmella microtheriella mine, probably more exciting than the adult
The Streak
Dark chestnut

A few more migrants from 2006

A speckled form of diamond back moth with the diamonds partially obscured
An almost pristine Udea ferrugalis caught on October 1st on kitchen window


This scarce bordered straw is the most orange one we caught
Only the second pearly underwing we have ever seen, with the classic grey 'mohican'

Of the 4 bordered straws we have seen this year this was the only one with properly formed wings
