Left the moth trap out a couple of nights ago as it looked cloudy and warm. It rained! But I had the most moths so far including this one which I think is a Heart and Dart. The book shows they have a lot of colour variances but the blotches (technical term) look about right. So another for my list. But I did not realise how hard it is to identify moths - took photos of several others but am only just learning what I need to be able to see. But its good fun and the warmer evening made me look forward to a good summer gettign to know moths. Sunday, 8 May 2011
