Multi-colour

I can't have enough of the Green-brindled Crescent  at this time of year and especially when three slightly different forms arrive on one night. Here they are, above: a dark version of the form cappuccino on the left, cappuccino itself in the middle, apppropriately coffee-coloured, and the standard type on the right, the one with the shiny metallic green scales which are such a glory of the species. I hope that you can't have too much of them either.

 

Plenty of variety continues besides. Above, we have a Turnip moth and below, a Shuttle-shape Dart, followed by a very small Willow Beauty, a Cypress Pug and a Cypress Carpet (both relatively new to the UK but flourishing mightily).

And to round things off today, Here's a richly-coloured Satellite and a Beaded Chestnut.  Loads of November/Winter moths are coming to the light too, so the end of the annual mothing season is drawing nigh although here are still one or two of the year's stars to come.
