A Jewel of a Moth...

With the high winds we had been getting lately I decided not to put the moth light out, the wind whips around in the corner where I normally place it so I thought it would be less than productive. but whilst on a nightshift the wind dropped and I witnessed a few moths on the wing. Two of these were warming themselves on a wall and made for easy trapping.  The Light Emerald (above) is a lovely pale moth very delicate indeed, and the accompanying moth is a Marbled Minor and by far the most helpful whilst photographing. Hopefully the wind will keep at ease over the next few nights whilst off work and enable me to put the trap out, its well overdue.
