Thank you
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...

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 π
Top moff!

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.

Fab moths, Dave.
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 π€

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.

Great trap, Hannah. Some cool moths in your catch π
A very nice trap. Mavis π
Nice, Clare, very jealous!
Oak Beauty
Diurnea fagella

Really heavy dew on the trap on a murky morning.
Oak Beauty (at last) and
Diurnea fagella were nfy.

I believe you didnβt have any to spare!
Oh no, Dave! Hope you get it sorted soon.
