SP9326: 16/07/11

Mothing was curtailed after a few hours on a cool and windy evening where not much was happening. This didn't seem to stop the Heart and Dart making a comeback - none were noted on the previous three sessions.

Emperor Moths

I've still not found an adult Emperor Moth, but we are playing foster parents to ten larvae. They are getting quite large now - all bar one which is lagging behind despite lots of nice Hawthorn to munch on.
