Another 'devilish' host

Another 'devilish' host (Cerapteryx graminis)

.... this time for another Lifer in Antler Moth! What a popular flower this one is with the insects.

By this time we were nearly half-way round the lake with still no sign of the diver. And a very muddy path it was in places!

Ann's husband had been up the day before and had actually got a picture of it on his phone.... and he's not a birder. We really didn't want to have him gloating when we got home, did we!

We did SEE the divers - two of them at times - but they always seemed to be at the far side of the lake from wherever we got to :( So now I went back to check my shots from that day. I think if I got out a magnifying glass, I could find them both in one pic I took ;)

Great that you found a good devil. In traditional medicine a treatment for urolithiasis. Probably for the moth as well? :t: :eat:
