Just a quick hello, the move went well but too much to do & too little time to do it. I did a moth trap last Friday only 2 days after we finished moving, there over 250 moths & I'm still sorting them. This is one that came to the window soon after we moved, just to whet your appetites.
It's called a Brown China-mark.
Sorry it's a quick visit, will pop in again in a few days!
P.S This is the link to my previous moth thread http://www.rspb.org.uk/community/wildlife/f/13609/t/111255.aspx

I think it is 'Angle Shades' & I only know that because of your excellent tuition!!

Brilliant Wendy. It was one of my first last year! At least it's caterpillars won't eat the roses (I don't think so)!! I had all of one rose stripped, buds & leaves, the lot by what I assume were the caterpillars of Garden Rose tortix. I know I love moths but I wasn't too pleased!
Wendy. iwoot. Never had one.Great moth & picture. Cat Pond? Do Cat(erpillar)s swim? :-)
Ha ha EB ... strongly suspect they would drown!!!
My motley collection of pics, viz, Neddy the cat & my new mini pond as well as my lovely Moth (if I get another I will send it to you)

Tomorrow I am lending the trap to someone who lives in Exeter. He will have it for several days so it will be interesting to see what city moths come out to play!!
Poor pic 'cos he's in an awkward position, but is this one of those 'Wave' ones?
Only a teeny thing currently living in my kitchen!
Wendy,I`d go for Small Dusty Wave - Idaea seriata.
The ufo,devonotter is the Rosy Tabby. Had to google it! http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?bf=1424
Thanks muchly EB & probably acquired it's 'dusty' status from living in my kitchen!! Lol
Cheers edge.... these moths have great names....
It's lovely to see all these moths coming onto the thread & getting a bit more publicity for their cause!! They are often mis-understood! Thanks for posting.
