Mushrooms are popping up all over the place - although no sign of any waxcap's yet.
Also a good run of new moths for the year. This has probably been helped that, with the shorter days, I am now getting to work before the security lights turn off.
Among the new moths were some sigh of migrants
Vestal.
The Vestal was nice to get but no sign of any major migrant rarity. Crimson Speckled would be good!
Also a good range of Autumn moths including
Merveille du Jour
I've only ever seen one Merveille du Jour (whereas I've seen two Crimson Speckleds, one being self-found) so pretty gripped off with that! But Vestals have a certain finesse that makes them altogether a far, far better moth. Good work, well jel innit.
ReplyDeleteCrimson Speckled on Scillies I suppose; Land of rare moths, birds and - more importantly - rare plants!
DeleteGribbin Head, Cornwall for the self-found one. But yeah. Scillies for the first (twitched) one. First time I'd run for a species I'd never even heard of before :D
DeleteSo pretty. 25 new species is good going. I'm on ones and twos these days and that's hard work
ReplyDeleteHope that gall wasp has been recorded ...
ReplyDeleteGall wasp on the Oak leaf I assume you mean? Yes it has in that case.
