Moths – Sept-Dec 2012

Here is a selection of moths seen in the last quarter of 2012. Its not been a good year for moths and we havn’t been able to put the trap out so much as it has been so wet and windy. On the plus side, we have had a few “firsts” in the garden., this is one of them and what a beauty!…
