Peppered Moths in Luddenden

                                           It's been a good week in Luddenden for Peppered Moths with 19 so far

                                          this is the usual variety (17 of these)

                    
                                          this seems intermediate - is this insularia -illustrations show an all dark body

                                          this is the melanistic type, this one had a white forehead
                                         

This week in Luddenden

                                          Miller - only the second for me here

                                          Small-dotted Buff

                                          Beautiful Snout - I think the cat had been playing
                                          with this one, it was dead next to my trap, only the
                                          fifth for Yorkshire I think

                                          Buff-tip, one of my favourites                                    

                                          A regular species in the garden but always good to
                                          see

                                          Pug for i.d. - is this Oak-tree Pug?

                                          Pebble Prominent - another new one for the garden
