Not golden, beige 😉
Tawny Pinion! Nice record Alan, only ever had the one and before I appreciated that they’re not a common species
And panic levels if it’s a good moth
Maybe a little on the large side. I think contacting the CMR would be a good idea but he’ll probably ask if you retained it
lol I’ve gone the other way after a fumbled pot, record shot first then pot! All down to personal choice 😆
I’d quite happily give away the Orthosia part of the catch 😆
Should be doable, keep trapping 👍🏻
The mini Merv!
A decent shout from the Prof, what size is it and did you retain it?
They’re a great moth, lovely markings, though from the front this one looks like an angry Ewok 😆
I think you’re always about 2 weeks ahead of me on the moth calendar. It’s them shorter summery bits that you have oop north ☔️🥶
Same policy in this house 😉
Don’t let your wife see. Have you admitted how many lures you have squirrelled away???
That looks more promising, I was worried the Facebook algorithm was going to assume I was a desperate 20 something male 🫣
You still not had one, they are definitely spreading so surely this year?
Slipped my mind 🤣🤪
Can’t seem to find it 🤷🏻♂️
Plenty of fish lure groups or dodgy groups about pheromone seduction 😳
Nope, I’ll wonder over there. What the feck was the ‘arse’ lure? Sounds like a nickname I would give it 🤣
A real hot bed for the moths is Sway! I wonder what’s next?
Might have to put a request in for a bigger freezer 🤞🏻🙏🏻
Probably helps adding #teammoth
I think I’ve more chance of getting hit by a flying kipper than catching that moth. So I’ll be placing an order for the lure 🤪
#mothfacefriday Yellow Horned, named because it has these erm, yellow horns. Not the most creative bunch the entomologists, especially when it comes to names 🙄
Ahh fair enough, but the FUN, MOL and ARG lures will catch other stuff as well. A barred tooth-striped lure, what’s that one? (I might have it already but then I have so many lures)!
Definitely a March/April moth for me so about right. 09/03 was the first record last year
I’ve not had many but hantsmoths website shows them to be quite varied so I’d be happy with both as mucronella www.hantsmoths.org.uk/lep.php?code...
