Tom Preney pointed out this beautiful Darling Undwing moth with a purple gloss to its wings |
Between 9-11pm tonight, I joined the Windsor Essex Field Naturalists for an evening of Mothing!
Quick Summary:
- Sweetheart Underwing (Most abundant underwing tonight)
- Widow Underwing (Mono-chromatic beauty)
- Darling Underwing (Purple tinged underwing!)
- Pelecinid Wasp
- Several unknown species!

*Just a little editor's note that I "tagged" my "Widow Underwing" images with the word "Window Underwing"... My bad... I'm too lazy to re-export the images!
Good Mothing!
The Widow Underwing is a monochromatic beauty with a black and white underwing! |
The Underwing of an Underwing! |
Mothing can be a lot of fun, especially looking for all the different Catocola species. I presume you used the sugar/stale beer/ripe fruit mix which underwings love?
