A good night

Post by bobhelencoan »

26 species last night. One we can't ID positively but think it could be a Vestal.
5 identifiable species of pug common, double striped, mottled and white spot (photo below) and one that is puzzling us. Fryer's ?
Also a larva found in February on ivy hatched into an Old Lady!.

Any help with ID's appreciated. Bob & Helen

Thanks Greg. The two pictures of the unknown pug are of the same pug which looks very grey not yellowy at all. Bob & Helen

Hi Bob & Helen

In that case the unknown Pug is an Ochreous Pug.
