Copley meadow on a sunny afternoon

Andy and myself went searching for more Marsh Pugs in amongst the Common Mouse-ear which grows commonly here. No luck with those but surprisingly we did find this pug on the wing - maybe too worn for an ID?
The Common Blues looked in fantastic condition as they posed in the warm sunshine.


Well done Andy for spotting this Small Yellow Underwing - it looked a lot more striking in flight. A first for me.


Latticed Heaths are always a pleasure to find. Never seen them here before.

Micropterix aruncellas were around, as tiny and inconspicuous as ever - I'm sure they're getting smaller :-)

An Epiblema cirsiana type looked unusual as it had it's wings spread apparently sunbathing but eventually posed in normal fashion.
