Ear Moth species on Ragwort this afternoon. Photo is from the phone so it's a bit of a trial and hope it comes out ok .

David Sutcliffe said...: Phone shot came out better than I suspected. A tricky group Charlie and dissection is the only way to tell them apart, I hear. It will have gone now - it heard you were coming !!!! Whiteholme drain and Fly Flatts was the last place I had any(singles) - both in October 2015 and both on Ragwort. Time for some more.; 4 September 2019 at 05:45
charlie streets said...: Yes, it's a very nice photo Dave, I do like shots of moths feeding on Ragwort - time to check out a few sites round my neck of the woods see if anything's about, never had much luck by day though.......; 6 September 2019 at 02:10
