Marbled Coronet, Orton Waterville

This beauty was in the trap a few nights ago - a rare species in Hunts and striking to boot.

Oak-tree Pug Eupithecia dodeneata, probably! Smaller (forewing 8-9 mm) and a greyer/whiter appearance than the brindled Pugs i've seen here. Shape and pattern don't seem quite right for Dwarf Pug, but it wouldn't be the first time i've got a Pug sp. wrong.

Emperor Moth, Orton Waterville, 28 April 10

Belated photos of a beautiful surprise Emperor Moth to MV light in the garden. My first here and not particularly common in Hunts.

Pale Prominent Pterostoma palpina, singles recorded most years

Waved Umber Menophra abruptaria, another species of which singles occur most years here
