Take Cover!!!

I came in from the shed to make a cup of coffee after playing trains and fiddling with bits of wood for the kitchen, when I spied this monster - presumably out over the sea off Dover



spectacular though it was, it was only short-lived and fizzled out after about 5 minutes. If this were the mid - West of the US of A it would no doubt have been a different story

 Friday/Saturday night was the best ever for moths by number of species trapped, with a total of 117 individual moths of 34 species. This is a typical egg-boxful, with just 8 species this side  

But on the other side was this beauty - a Garden Tiger, a
fabulous moth by any standards
