Eype delivers

After a break of nearly a month I finally got round to running the moth trap at Eype last night. I am glad I did as the air turned 'blue' when turning over an egg-box I was confronted with this.


Fantastic or words to that effect.

Plus on Friday just managed to get over 900 for the year at Thorne. Will update on that soon.

  1. Brilliant Pete, what a great moth. I rather favour the old name of Blue Underwing.

  2. Superb (or words to that effect...) I so seriously wanna see one of these beasts, gripped to the max!
    Congrats on your Thorne total too, what a year we're all having! :)

    1. I also have seriously wanted to see one since as soon as I started Mothing. Still a bit shocked - these things don't happen to me!

  3. Oooh, very nice! You're in reasonable shape to "complete" two 1k squares? Even if you don't make that it's still a good result. Have we seen a combined species list?

    1. I very much hope to get Thorne over 1000 but Eype will probably struggle to get much over 700. (Lack of visits really)
      However a combined list might be interesting!
