Several Nemophora degeerella at work today. Incredibly long antennae as the moths flitted amongst some shrubs.

Love those moths aeshna, only ever seen them around West Drayton though bizarrely! My MotD goes to probably my favourite moth, the Buff-tip Thanks, Nige bufftip by Wabi Gallery, on Flickr

Nice photo Pete. Is there Bracken nearby as this is the food plant?

Can't decide for my MotD from yesterday, Bordered Straw was a nice migrant and garden tick, but Elephant Hawk-moth is pretty stunning when fresh!
