31 May - Muston moths







Three rustic shoulder-knots (Apamea sordens) were the first of the year,



as was this clouded bordered brindle (Apamea crenata).






















These 3 photographs show the small square spot (Diarsia rubi) and its variation in plumage,






















with these male buff ermines (Spilosoma luteum) showing the variation within the species.














Beautiful golden Y (Autographa pulchrina) - the garden's first of the year.

Poplar hawkmoth (Laothoe populi)
