Sunday May 13

Despite slightly warmer weather I have not put out my moth trap since my poor showing on Thursday night.

Nevertheless a moth has forced its way into the blog by the traditional route of flying through the bathroom window. It was a rather common, but pretty, moth called a Brimstone. I potted it and held it overnight. By the morning it was extremely frisky and I could tell it wasn't going to pose in a relaxed manner.

As soon as I lifted the lid it flew away strongly.
