Moth Night this Saturday.

There will be a trapping session this Saturday 21st at Cromwell Bottom. Turn up from 8.30pm at the cabin/café area. Light on around 10.00pm.


Hopefully I'll be checking out a few patches of ragwort after dusk that I found today and of course there's the nearby buddleia.


A visit to Tag meadow produced this Sallow Kitten larva on Crack willow. It was right at the top of my target species list for a few years now - hopefully I'll be able to rear it through. The bottom two photos show how the tail appendages are constantly inflated and deflated, presumably it was annoyed at my presence.
