At last a female Northern Winter Moth has emerged today,albeit looking a bit bedraggled after emergence.No worries about her flying off during the photography session.
Also this other, quite different moth emerged today - any ideas anyone? Should have labelled the pots :-)
Just waiting for the Mottled Umbers now.
All the larvae were collected from Silver Birch in N.Dean wood in late Apr./early May. Northern Winter Moth was one of the most common surprisingly.

Hi Andy, it sure had me fooled for a while until I realised it was a freshly emerged Northern Winter Moth male expanding its wings - quite a coincident it looking just like one of the females.
