At least 10 Red-veined Darter were located at the local site along with 2 Common Darter. Other species noted included Golden-ringed Dragonfly and Keeled Skimmer. Six Crossbill flew over.

Lovely moths Matt. Of course, you know my favourite ... that grass veneer!
ReplyDeleteI have the new caterpillar book and it looks like either Silver Y or Beautiful Golden Y to me - black 'dash' mark on head. I guess, probably the latter, though could be Silver if it's starting to breed locally? Needs a clearer photo to be sure.
Hi Nick - yep with you on the Grass-veneer. Hadn't considers Silver or Beautiful Golden Y - thought it was going to be some sort of geometrid. Many thanks. Matt
