Great photos as always, Greg. Lobster Moth is one I'd particularly like to see - I believe they're pretty common in the South, where's the closest to our region they can be seen ?

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul,

The Lobster Moth is quite impressive. I found a good number of them in late May at Llanymynech Rocks. I will be trapping there again next year on a regular basis. You are welcome to join me at any time with your trap/traps.

Regards,
Greg

Hi Folks,

The first for Cheshire was trapped by Roger Parry in Willaston (Wirral) this year (2017), hopefully the first of many.

Fantastic photos Greg.

Cheers,
Steve
