I was also delighted to find a moth I had never seen before, a little like a thorn, with a fold in its wings and a tense posture.

Beauties in Burry Port
The night turned unexpectedly cold and I didn't get the number of moths I had hoped for. Willow beauty is usually very common in my garden, and I was beginning to believe that the Mottled Beauty I recorded in one of my first traps was a figment of my inexperienced imagination. Therefore I was very pleased to find this speciment in the trap this morning.

Lilac beauty is always nice to see. It`s a thin-on-the-ground type of moth.

It is a beauty!
