Uncommon moth. 15th August 2020.
On first inspecting the moth trap in the morning the moths, which are mainly night flyers, have all settled down under the egg boxes where they will remain until nightfall. Recently there was a wildly fluttering moth, a Jersey Tiger, when I first looked. These are not as common as the similar species the Garden Tiger and are worth a photo. However I made the mistake of defering the picture until after breakfast and it managed to escape. I am indebted to a Devon friend for a picture of one of three Jersey Tigers which appeared in her garden.
