Early May surge

Published on 6 May 2026 at 21:45

Early May saw some welcome milder nights after the last two weeks in April, and the moths responded with some decent catches over the long weekend.  Notable moths were the magnificent Puss moth (whose caterpillar is even more spectacular).  Other lovely moth included the Poplar kitten, Alder moth and Peppered moth (see photos below).
