Tuesday July 10

Just one little moth in the bathroom last night. It was new for the year, but has occurred previously. The moth in question was the rather underwhelming Holly Tortrix Rhopobota naevana.

Holly Tortrix
I tried the fridge method to calm it down, but as I tried to encourage it out of the pot it made a break for it and I ended up crawling around the paving slabs trying to salvage a shot through the hand lens.

This evening I was about to start watering our dying plants when I realised I had an audience.

I'm not the only one with an enthusiasm for moths.
