The 3rd Oak Beauty of the last week or so was the smartest we've had ~ absolutely pristine, like it's just been unwrapped from the moth box. Can't get enough of them ~ a proper 10/10 this one...

Pugs Clear photos and brief details of common UK moths. Comparison pages giving simple and clear explanations of the differences between moths which look very similar.

Ruth and Dave and anyone else interested, this may help…a little.

A gorgeous Oak Beauty from the morning catch in the actinic at CMO. A little brighter than Lynnette's from the other morning ~ but any Oak Beauty is a good Oak Beauty πŸ™‚

Today's Oak Beauty in full-on revving up mode. Love the way the left-hand antennae pops up into place just before a shuffle into position ahead of take-off.

We've hit our annual quota of Pine Beauty already! Two in two days for a species that we generally only have a couple of every year (the exception being five in 2022). Such a smart macro 🀌

One of the elite macros of early spring has to be Pine Beauty. A proper bobby-dazzler of a moth, cloaked in intricate patterned shades of orange, rust, red & white. Still scarce here (maybe two a year), this is the 2nd earliest at CMO.
