    Worcestershire Butterflies,Moths and Dragonflies

    On a short visit to Salwarpe yesterday morning, we came across our first sighting of a Hornet Mimic Hoverfly. Couldn't believe the size of it! https://www.flickr.com/photos/mairis-wildlife/14666690009/

    Yes, Treble Lines no 2. I'd hazard an uneducated guess at Uncertain for no 4, but can't help with the others. I'm into the 2nd year with a 40w actinic, and have just found a jump in numbers/species with the warmer, cloudy nights; 116 species to date. I'm only doing macros.... can't get my head...

    We've seen a couple of Red Admirals locally in the past week. Maybe they're just a bit late, as the Small Tortoiseshell seemed to be, and there will be a late flurry?

    Des, we had the same one recently, put it on the moth thread, and it was id'd as Ancylis badiana, a micro moth.
