Summer 2021 #5

Continuing from the previous post, an unusual number of the small timber moth Tymbophora peltastis came in to the light, it was by far the most numerous small moth.

Proteuxoa sanguinipuncta can be abundant at times, this was a nice specimen.

Prorocopis euxantha was featured recently, this is another moth in the group,

The Chestnut Crest, Crioa hades.

A Notodontid, Epicoma contristis.

A beautiful small Oecophorid, the Golden Leaf Moth, Wingia aurata.

A Pyralid, Spectrotota fimbrialis.

And a Crambid, Achyra affinitalis.

Moths in the Anthela acuta complex have been missing in action for quite some time, so it was good to see two come in on this occasion.

Another small Crambid, Nacoleia rhoeoalis has been fairly common in the garden, here is a close up of its distinctive antennae.

Some images will enlarge.
