Finally the rain stopped. I had been getting antsy. Moth Week started two day ago, and I hadn't caught a single moth yet. It looks like the next couple of nights will be good as well, so Djursland will hopefully fill my coffer (memory card) with wondrous moths.
And Spiders.
Moth trapping in the night.
Spider hunting in the day.
I'll need a vacation, to recover from this vacation 😆 -

#HummingbirdHawkMoth very close up. This specimen was enjoying sipping nectar from the buddleia plants near the bridge from Baker Lane car park to New Conduit Street in #KingsLynn so much that I was able to get a very close zoom on it...

Slim pickings on the #Moth front last night after a week away and sudden drop in night-time temps. This peachy little thing is:
ROSY FOOTMAN
Miltochrista miniataCaterpillars feed off lichen and the moth itself is classed as local, so not very widespread. Southern coastal counties see most.

Just went to my back door at 2am and there was an Old Lady there ...

Have found the beautiful Jersey Tiger moth (Euplagia quadripunctaria) again. Found it for the first time last year, never had it on my allotment before this as it used to be quite a rare moth Jersey Tiger is mainly found in the far South of England and seems to be slowly spreading northwards. The caterpillars feed on a range of plants such as ground ivy, white dead-nettle, bramble and common nettle. #moths #pollinators #insects

Luna Moth (Actias luna) is famous for its bright green wings and long tails, but its strangest trait is that adult moths lack mouths and digestive systems entirely. Also known as American moon moth, they use their spinning tails for bat jamming, they survive entirely on energy saved from caterpillar stage & adult moths die in 6 to 7 days, spending their fleeting lives exclusively mating. Caterpillars of the Luna moth can deter predators by regurgitating a foul-tasting, noxious liquid. Male of this species has more sensitive antennae than female.

AI tells me that this is Panthea furcilla, the Tufted White Pine #moth. Sounds good to me. I'm too lazy to look it up in my Field Guide to the Moths of North America. It was near some White Pines, so the ID is probably more or less correct, in a manner of speaking.
