Unmarried Moth'ers - Part I

While rain was sporadic across most of the weekend, in the main we stayed reasonably dry, but while Friday nights catch was considered to be excellent it was massively outshone by what we recorded the following day. The highlights of the former were published on yesterday's Post while we have dedicate this and the following two Posts to compliment Saturday night, Sunday morning and part of Sunday afternoon. It was a hard plod!

BLACK - just for interest.

BLUE - a new species for the Year.

RED - a new species for our Recording Area.

We decided to leave the Best Until First which was certainly the 

RAREST

and likely the most `Aesthetically Pleasing' of all the Weekends Catch!

 SCARCE MERVEILLE du JOUR

According to most Authorities the range of this most striking Insect

includes a number of the Southern Counties of England but not our

Home County of Dorset.

It was first caught here in 2002, since when there have been a further

40 or so records, all but one from the East of the County, 
and is considered to be widening its range, 

Of no real List significance but to catch both male (left) and female

FOX MOTH
together was thought worthy of publication.
