Some moths are just that bit more photogenic than others.

I’ve now been lucky enough to catch seven of these beautiful moths, incl’ this one. In additon to the records mentioned above, the others were in June 2000 (Aspal Close), June 2001 (Thurston), May 2003 & May 2004 (Hopton, Nr Diss). So, two little runs with a seven year gap inbetween. If the pattern holds true, it could be 2022 before I see one again!

It was a bit of a surprise in that I normally have to wait three years between sightings. Am not sure where the nearest patch of foodplant is but it’s definitely not in my garden.

Same here with my traps when I’ve bothered to run them. Good nights have been a very rare commodity this season so far. Hope June is going to buck the trend.
