Red Underwing Moth
Photo taken May 2007. The beautiful red colour isn't visible when the wings are closed.
Large Yellow Underwing Moth
Photo taken August 2007. The moth had been in the house. It was taken out and given some grape to give it energy. The colour of the hind wing is hidden because the wings are closed.
Magpie Moth
Photo taken July 2007. This moth is a regular visitor to our porch. The caterpillars migrate into the porch from nearby plants, pupate, and later emerge as adult moths.
Photo taken July 2005. A moth has emerged from the pupa, and is starting to pump up its wings.
Sycamore Moth
Photo taken October 2007. This looks just like "Eyelash" yarn for knitting!
This amazing moth has been seen on a number of occasions in Wymeswold, and reported as recently as 2006. It hovers in front of a flower and uses its long proboscis to suck up the nectar. Please follow link for a photo
