Rose Plume et al.

Continuing a good week of garden moths. Averaging 90 macro species each night (which is as good for my garden as was 2006): 23rd was over 100. Migrants made an appearance on 23rd, with 15 Silver Y, a couple of Dark Sword Grass and about 50 diamonbacks. I’m ignoring most of the micros because I don’t have time each day to wrestle with the book. However, having had five species of plume over the last week (including Mugwort), last night (24th) produced a lovely little Rose Plume (Cnaemidophorus rhododactyla). Is this as good a find as the book suggests? I’ve checked with photographs on-line and I’m pretty sure of the ID (and Matthew has just confirmed!).
