one of the scorched carpets:
Certainly worth a trip with a more reliably genny!!!In my trap at home I had a decent hawl with lots of new Micros (now with David manning for ID!), treble lines, treble-bar, lime hawkmoth and white ermin. I also had the 2 moths below, an ID help would be great... (thanks Matt for the IDs)
Moth 1 - Melanistic Grey Pine Carpet
Moth 2 - Seraphim
Hi Dan,
ReplyDeleteLooks like a Melanic Grey Pine Carpet top- is there any pine there?
Bottom looks like Seraphim

Hi Matt,
ReplyDeletecheers for the IDs, there aren't any big plantations near me but odd pines exist and I've caught pine beauty before so I'll go with your ID :-)
thanks!
Dan
