However, to cheer me up, this Angle Shades appeared upstairs, freshly emerged and perky. I think it must have been in seed compost, as I have tray of tomato seeds germinating close by.
I know its common but I always enjoy seeing them.

Angle Shades
Belated Happy New Year to all. After a miserable January and only 6 moths caught, we are now into an even more miserable February and no sign of being able to trap.Very frustrating!

This moth always reminds me of the first time I ever saw one, in the 1950s on the window of my father's garage. I showed it to a mothing friend, announcing that it was a Lime Hawk Moth. He replied: "of course it isn't!" (he was much wiser than me) but he couldn't tell me what it was!
