Small patch of wild that sits between a farm and one of our local young woodlands has had Marbled White for a few years now. Numbers were in double figures there yesterday for the species #UKbutterflies
Another less than showy showing from #teamMoth last night, but there were a couple of NFYs for me in 12C Cambs - Grey Pine Carpet and Teleiodes vulgella.
And, there was a Peppered, always nice to see. I had a peppered shirt once...near-perfect camo for those moths
Does anyone else get that Xmas morning feeling of childhood whenever there's an EHM in the trap? And, even more so if there's a Small EHM too? #teamMoth
Numbers are still low here in Cambs, hopefully the weather is about to change, the Painted Ladies irrupted a fortnight ago, so should happen in the next few days #TheyKnow #teamMoth
