Lychnis perhaps?

Agree.

Yes, just looked in my guide and it looks like you're right!

Many thanks! :t:

Have another one here (the white one), if you could help then I think that will round up the main ones I cannot currently ID....

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

Looks like either Yellow-tail or Brown-tail, but I lack the experience to differentiate I'm afraid.

Definitely an advantage to photographing as much as possible. While cataloguing my shots from a couple of days ago I realised that what I had assumed was a Double Square-spot looks far more like a Triple-spotted Clay, another new one for me.

Slightly worn, dark smudge on the wing edge, near the tail, makes this a Yellow-tail

Hi Rubia. Whereabouts did you see the Large Tortoiseshells on Portland? I gather they've now been found breeding there & I still need to see these for the UK. I've seen a few locations mentioned on there.

I've read elsewhere that they are almost certainly the result of an unofficial but deliberate release.

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

Rubia · Jul 18, 2020

Last night was nowhere as good as the night before (115 of 42 species, compared to 197 of 60). Whilst mostly the same things it still turned up a few new ones. Hyposopygia glaucinalis, Strathmopoda pedella (amazing thing), Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing (a devil to hold while checking the underwing), Tinea trinotella (fairly easy thanks to spots) and Opostega salaciella (this one is rather fun with its very novel eye caps, like a blinkered horse [prob showing my age as I remember the coalman's horse from my youth when that was how coal arrived on a cart).
Took me through 300 for the garden.

Rain stopped play after two hours last night, which was a shame as it was starting to look good. Ruby Tiger and, at long last, Buff Ermine both new for garden. Large Tabby (not common here) and Purple Thorn were on wall nearby.

Purple Thorn is a good garden moth, never had one here.

Totall rubbish here, even on the warmer nights, no idea what's happening?

Also, a Lunar Hornet pheromone arrived last Saturday and immediately produced returns with two Clevedon gardens - mine & Howard's - and also in habitat in the Gordano Valley. At the same time, the wilding of my back lawn has produced good numbers of Cinnabar caterpillars on the Ragwort!

A selection of pics - Lunar Hornet at trap, Lunar Hornet x 2, Jersey Tiger & Drinker.

All the best

Paul,
isn't the Emerald in post 97, Small, rather than Light?

Yes. Corrected. Typo. Thanks very much.
