A few from the Autumnal cast

The nights are certainly drawing in now leading to much cooler temperatures.  The trap is slowing down but at least new for year species are still being added to the garden list as the cast of autumnal moths takes over...

The images are not of a usual standard and a little bland as we are building an extension and I have temporarily lost my photo 'lab'.

Mallow

Red Underwing

Feathered Gothic


Lunar Underwing

Feathered Ranunculus

Ginger Funk

Is this the funkiest caterpillar, quite possibly.

My kids found it at school yesterday and Christened it "Ginger Funk",  a very apt name indeed.
