I'd never heard of the word 'clowder' but apparently it's the collective name for a group of cats. I'm applying it to a quartet of moths, but Brindled Beauties like these are so similar to tabbies in furriness and colouring that I think I am justified. The species is the moth of the moment, although competition for that honour is not intense. You can see a couple of the other current regulars in the picture below: an Early Grey and a Hebrew Character.
The last can be rather a dull moth but occasionally you get pleasantly-coloured examples and there was one in the eggboxes this morning, below. Nice to have a glimpse of salmon pink in the trap; which reminds me: we are having kippers for breakfast.
