Some moths at last
I've had meagre pickings the last few weeks, but things have looked up recently and I have a couple of queries.
Is this Spruce or Grey Pine Carpet? All my previous Spruce Carpet have been well marked and coloured and this one seemed to be less definite somehow.
A confirmation that this is a Common Lutestring?? A New moth for me.
And another new moth, Least Black Arches.

With that very scalloped median band towards the base of the forewing I think it's safe to call that Spruce carpet.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes to Common Lutestring.
Thank you.
