Double Dart !

Some nice moths over the past couple of nights.

A lovely Archer's Dart - my first for the garden and a nice local species.

 Crescent Dart is also a local species and it's a nice change from the Heart and Darts that usually fill my trap.

 A stunning Beautiful Y.

 One of 7 Bird Cherry Ermine - very different from the Apple Ermine caught last week- in size and number of spots.

   A Bordered White - look at those lovely antennae below!

 Always a favourite - one of three Buff Ermine's in the trap

 Chequered Fruit Tree Tortix - lovely patterning

 A C|ommon Rustic - not so common in my garden so far this year.

 Is thsi a Daerk Spectacle - the eyes were not as prominent and the patterning darker in the back.

 Two Spectacles - look at the size difference. Male and female?

 Drinker - my first of the year in the garden

 Early Thorn

A nice Purple and Gold Pyrausta pyralis  another garden first
