Hi Steve,

Some impressive moths, especially the Ruddy Highflyer, I've been trying for one at Whixall for 2 or three weeks now, so far without success.

Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,

This was the first Ruddy Highflyer (Hydriomena ruberata) I've caught in Cheshire. It has been caught nearby in the past but across the River Dane in Staffordshire.

Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,

Always a good night when you get Scorched Wing ...... one of my favourite macros.

Cheers,
Steve
