An explosion of new moths

 

Quite literally... the trap was heaving this morning in my garden trap, not oodles of moths but certainly more than enough interest to go reaching for the pots.

It's been hard to photograph the moths, as it's been so warm and humid. Some will literally start running around the pots seconds after getting them out of the fridge, so pot shots will have to do with some species.

It was nice to get a few pine feeding species, quite often these turn up on muggy nights and last night was very warm indeed, no lower than 14 degrees.

 

Macro highlights were my annual Miller and a 2nd garden record of the Seraphim, and what a belting form it was.

The micros really were out in force with 12 new for year species!

 

I've got one un-identified moth that i'm sure isn't a Caloptilia species, it resembles Batrachedra pinicolella, but will need dissecting to confirm as it's worn unfortunately. The legs and antennae just don't look right for Caloptilia...we shall see!

 

Garden species count for 2020 now upto 145.

This one is minimalist.

Serduszka okazałe, serduszka okazała, ładniczka okazała, biskupie serce, serce Jasia (Big hearts, episcopal heart, John's heart) - Lamprocapnos spectabilis (L.) Fukuhara, it belongs to family Papaveraceae Juss.

Magnolia stellata (Siebold & Zucc.) Maxim.

Day 3 of Bonaire diving was a macro day, and I had some spectacular finds while scanning the reef. This pair of frogfish (male/female) on the same elephant ear sponge were one of the macro highlights from the trip.

We have some irises growing in our backyard. Every time I see them I'm reminded of the Iris flower data set used as an example in Machine Learning.

A more than 'Minor' success

A great catch last night with plenty to be pleased about, it certainly was a night of the Minor's! with hopefully Rufous, and Tawny Marbled to add to Marbled and Middle-barred Minor.

Beautiful Golden-Y was the Macro highlight.

I think tonight will be the last 'muggy' night so I will take advantage of that, just incase I get some more species for the garden.

440/731 This butterfly reminds me of all the butterflies we had in my yard as a kid since we were in the path of the butterfly migration. Hundreds and hundreds of butterflies would land in our yard. This butterfly was photographed in the Chicago Nature Museum. Photographed using a Canon 1D Mark II and a #Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens and shot at f/2. #canon_photos #people_and_world #ig_worldclub #naturehippys #igbest_shotz #majestic_macros #smallworld_uc #macro_brilliance #macro_highlight #macro_spotlight #macromood #macro_vision #macro_clique #igbest_macros #macro_freaks #naturewhisperers #igglobalclubmacro #exclusive_macro #macro_perfection #tgif_macro #canonbringit #instagram #photoarena_nature #ig_livorno #ig_lazio #dance_61_ #pf_macro #bartaphoto731
