Lee Mount - 7th May

Holly Blue briefly mid morning was a welcome sight first seen around the Honeysuckle then away over the gardens. Also a few Orange-tip, a Peacock and a Small White.

A Garden Carpet earlier in the day was well gone and being carried away by an ant. There didn't seem much left of the moth except the wings

In the evening the lamp attracted a few moths

This morning - nothing at all on the fence or in the trap - they had all gone. Perhaps that bright full moon as it rose late on, and a clear sky moved them all off - strange !
