Little Hadham Moths: July 1020

I have now begun to document the local moths. This is a new area for me so I am presently concentrating on photographing and then identifying them from my field guide. The best place locally, is the lights outside the Nag's Head as well as the outdoor lights in Chapel Lane.

At the moment 10 - 14 species per night is enough for me to sort out. I hope I have all the correct species named here, a list made up from the last week's observations.

From the top:

1. yellow shell

2. willow beauty

3. The Snout

4. small waved umber

5. silver y

6. scarce footman

7. ruby tiger

8. riband wave

9. beautiful hooktip

10. mother of pearl

11. least carpet

12. dagger species, probably grey dagger

13. ghost moth

14. ruby tiger and small wave umber
