What a beautiful moth today – a Herald Moth .. and brought his friends.
The adults feed on Ivy flowers, blackberries and raspberries : lots around here, not so much this time of year, so interesting the list of food plants does not include what they will be eating now.
The larva love willow, poplar and aspen and there is PLENTY of all those for the new generation.
only caught one last May later in the month .. 5 today !
the rest of last nights catch –
