These micro moths were performing a courtship 'dance' over bracken in a small clearing..any ideas? - Nemophora degeerella thanks Pete!
This impressive catty was found on the open heath, about 2 inches long..any ideas?
Mother Shipton (what a cool moth!!):
Lackey Moth catty (dreadful photo as I rushed because of a showy whitethroat!!):
Common Heath were, as you would expect, common on the heath:
Hi Dan,
ReplyDeleteThe micro moth is Nemophora degeerella. I came across these last week in Hay Wood, Warwickshire exhibiting similar behaviour. I think it is the males with the huge antenna. At least they aren't very fast in flight so not too hard to get a photo.
Love your Hawks photo in your last post , by the way, looks like an aerial shot of an airport with a bunch of strangely coloured planes parked up.
