Adam Dare had a waved umber in his Burry Port garden trap.
Above: puss moth and below, pale tussock.
.....I`m stuck on the next one (see below). I did consider ochreous pug - the trap was close to a pine tree and other conifers, but the resting position seems wrong for that species (where the wings are supposed to rest `below the horizontal`). Perhaps it is a brindled pug, but the specimen seems to be awkwardly intermediate in size (two photos of exactly the same moth - note how the colour differs!). It may be another pug species...any suggestions as to identity would be most welcome please. Thanks.
Postscript: good numbers and ample diversity of moths (many FFYs) in traps last night (Fri 6/5). Will post in due course - too busy at present.
Looks like Brindled to me Ian. Oak-tree would be the only other likely possiblity I think, but it doesn't look well marked enough for that.
ReplyDeleteThanks George. After catching more of the same and oak tree pugs to compare with, I`d come to the same conclusion.
