There were 15 Macro moths of 8 species in my light trap on the 27th and 29 moths of 13 species last night. The numbers appear to be picking a bit up now. It was nice that, for once, the Geometrids stayed still long enough for a few photographs. All the photographs consist of at least 2 images that were “stacked” in Photoshop. Stacking allows me to get a better depth of field.
Crocus Geometer moth (Xanthotype sospeta) is difficult to separate from False Crocus Geometer Moth (Xanthotype urticaria) but I’ve tentatively put this one down as Crocus Geometer because of the paler yellow colour and relatively smaller and less prominent markings.
I’ve also included a photograph of one micro moth, Pyrausta nicalis.
