Moth'ers Little Helper - The Rolling Stones

 Having made such a Pot Mess (R. N. Stew) of Mr Partridge and his beloved Rosie, having put the Horse before the Cart, we will endeavour to get it right today! With Thursday night having qualified as the best so far this year for Moths, we will put those goodies all in one basket with a little reminiscing, pre-Covid of how things used to be when

Sophie, Josh and absent from the image brother Oliver,
occassional visits from

Dave Foot

and always welcome when they could make it Chloe, with Mark and Phil Sterling, here's hoping again soon! So for the Moths in no particular order but a fantastic start with

STRIPED HAWK-MOTH

and a Larvae thereof just for interest.

SERAPHIM

SCORCHED CARPET

an overdue

BUFF ERMINE

FOXGLOVE PUG

with some idea of size.

LESSER TREBLE-BAR

PRIVIT HAWK-MOTH

again with Larvae

PALE OAK BEAUTY

WHITE-POINT

likely a migrant.

both

EYED HAWK-MOTH

and at the other end of the size scale the tiny

CREAM-BORDERED GREEN PEA
and to conclude hopeing that we get this right, if someone discovers any kind of creature not yet described on Planr Earth, they get the privilege of naming that creature such as

RADFORD'S FLAME SHOULDER
and

CLANCY'S RUSTIC
(which we usually catch here but later in the year)
Unaware of this, our Ol' and Hapless Mate Willy Wine of Wimborne Fame made such a discovery in the week and having no knowledge of getting his name in lights for prosterity past it on to me. Certain to take ALL of the GLORY for such a find we believe it would be appropriate to name it

BAGSY'S BRAMLEY APPLE MOTH

(don't tell him will you!)
