I've Got Plenty of Nuttin' - George Gershwin

 A decent overnight temperature along with a noticeable early morning drop in wind speed, there were no 'new' Moths in the traps, but nevertheless an eclectic mix of other Insects! The wind had done its worse before daybreak leaving one of the

WELLINGTONIA TREES
denuded!

The first of these was not in the trap at all, but clinging on doggedly to the collar, but at least a Moth

the delightfully marked and ever welcome
MERVIELLE du JOUR
followed by a

16-SPOT CREAM LADYBIRD

and pristine
FLOUNCED CHESTNUT

Following in quick succession were a

female
DARK BUSH CRICKET
a lateish so maybe the last of the year
BROAD-BORDERED YELLOW UNDERWING
which as ever was reluctant to show the yellow bits,
COMMON SHINY WOODLOUSE
and even the Micro
HYPSOPYGIA GLAUCINALIS
we don't do Micros!
Otherwise, across the Recording Area things were 'thin on the ground' and had it not been for more
ESCAPED LIVESTOCK
from, we know not where, there would be little else to cackle about so maybe time for a long overdue visit to see our dear friend and Apprentice Moth'er
CHLOE

 almost looking pleased to see me!

 
It's on such occassions that this distancing gets right on your
Parus Majors
Ostensibly, to take a look at the newly fashioned and rearrange
Upholstery Studeo
and her latest Masterpiece
an ex-Royal Marine has commissioned her to make an arm chair covering out of his
UNIFORM
What an Inovation not quite completed yet!
