Rye Harbour Moths

6th August 2008, Wednesday

Not as many moths this week in the Lime Kiln Moth Trap, and somewhat less than Pat Bonhams 50 species, the majority this morning being either Light Brown Apple Moth, Dark Arches or Shuttle-shaped Dart. A fair bit of quality though, with the highlights being the micros Pediasia aridella (below), Viper Bugloss Moth, Rosy-striped Knot Horn and Marbled Yellow Pearl.
