Distraction time

Excellent moths keep coming nightly, with the lovely warm temperatures which we are enjoying. But since the grandchildren have also arrived, my time has been severely limited and my attention wildly distracted.

Above, for example, is the successful meeting of the regular morning demand: "Grandpa, can I have some moths on my fingers?"

I have therefore missed a whole range of new (for the year, not completely new) arrivals, but here, above, are a couple of personal favourites which I did find time to photograph - the Burnished Brass and the twig-like Buff Tip.  In passing, I might also mention that the trap is particularly popular with White Ermines at the moment, my granddaughter's second favourite after Elephant Hawks.
