Common Pug © Harry Mole 2017

Kitty spotted this common pug (Eupithecia vulgata) on the kitchen ceiling – don’t know what it was doing there. 

I know it’s not sharp, but it turns out it’s really hard to photograph butterfly scales. 

A few moths in the moth trap last night:

• 1x Treble lines (Charanyca trigrammica)
• 1x Treble bar (Aplocera plagiata)
• 1x Vines rustic (Hoplodrina ambigua)
• 1x Yellow barred brindle (Acasis viretata)
• 1x Heart and dart (Agrotis exclamationis)
• 1x Common pug

I had 2 Heart and Darts (Agrotis exclamationis) in the moth trap this morning. It’s a common one, but these were my first of the year. I though this one was dead, but it turned out to be just pretending.
