Moths at Last !

Moths at Last !

Morning All,

After a 3 consecutive blanks for the Garden Moth Scheme, last night (22/01/2018) was a definite improvement.

A Pale Brindled Beauty Phigalia pilosaria was my first macro of the year, and my second was an early Hebrew Character Orthosia gothica. This date beats my previous earliest Hebrew Character by almost 3 weeks, which I recorded 11/02/2011.

It doesn’t look particularly fresh, which makes me wonder whether it is newly emerged or whether it emerged prior to the recent cold spell we have experienced.

Mel.
