19 May - Muston moths

New for the year:


The spectacle (Abrostola tripartita)







and a swallow prominent (Pheosia tremula). This is similar to the lesser swallow prominent, however the wedge in the trailing corner of the forewing is greyer white, more elongated and narrower, extending at least halfway to the base.















Here is the underside of a male white ermine (Spilosoma lubricipeda) looking remarkably peaceful.
