Moths of May

The weather here has been terrible too. Lots of rain, wind and cold temperatures. Not much in my trap today but I found a female Emperor Moth in there, and a male Emperor had hatched during the night. I have never seen a male before, it's a lot smaller than I expected!

Moths through the winter months

I had my first moth of the year last night, a Chestnut. I have never seen a moth this early before, but it has been a very mild winter here, except for about 3 week in the second half of January and first half of February when it was between -5 and -12 degrees every day.
