Sunday June 4

A couple of moths made it through the bathroom window last night. One was new to me, although it is a common moth.

They were a Straw Dot (which I saw on the moth trapping event I went on last year), and the other was a Ingrailed Clay (identification confirmed by Mike Southall).

The Ingrailed Clay had a bit of a hard time when I released it. It flew groggily to a flower pot which unfortunately contained a couple of inches water. I therefore had to fish it out and released it again at the side of the house, out of the sun, where it soon recovered.
