A first for me here are the Figure of Eighty and Beautiful Brocade pictured below.
I was rather confused by this one, despite having had it before (thanks Norman Lowe for your help!) - the Common Lutestring.

Moths at Saron
I have had a Hummingbird Hawkmoth here for the last 3 days visiting the valarian outside the house.
A first for me here are the Figure of Eighty and Beautiful Brocade pictured below.

I`ve never seen a beautiful brocade. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I don't think Sally has either - it looks like Pale-shouldered to me. There aren't any confirmed Carmarthenshire records of Beautiful Brocade, just 5 pended ones by Jon Baker very early in his mothing career (he pended them) and one without a photo by Steve Clarke. The ID features are rather tricky, but include the shapes of the stigma marks, the exact shape of the outermost pale line. I may be wrong though!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam, so shall I record as a Pale-shouldered then?
