Them bones, them bones.

I visited Bones Wood again, where the green hairstreaks were as numerous as ever (though rather worn). I picked up a couple of other sightings, too, including some orchids and a froghopper. The 'long-horn' moth is well named!

Still plenty of moths about - and predators

I had the trap on overnight on Thursday (5th August). The catch was not huge but included a couple of wasps and a dozen hornets - with the resultant carnage. I don't enjoy identifying moths from odd wings but I found a lesser swallow prominent's forewing and that of one of the kittens (probably sallow). A number of moths made their first appearance for some months - pale prominent, nut-tree tussock, coxcomb prominent. There were three September thorns, a scalloped oak, yellow-tail and a very faded common emerald.
