I have been reaching for The Micro Book. Nearly missed this Dark-bordered Pearl. Apparently its range is expanding. Well it has arrived in this bit of VC22, very close to both VC12 and VC17 #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

Lovely antennae on this moth. Not quite sure which moth it is. Very pale, wings edged, and freckled with soft brown. Maybe a Plain Wave with a faded wave. #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

A Scorched Carpet. A striking and very fast moth (it escaped my grasp, twice). It is supposed to prefer chalky soils. Here it is acidic heathland. #Teammoth

White Lysimachia glows in a shady corner. It is planted below a white buddleia. Similar forms but on different scales. #Gardenshour #Sixweeksofcolour

A Maidens Blush. The brown blotches show it's a second generation moth. Its offspring will overwinter as a pupae on a fallen oak leaf - plenty to choose from here. #Teammoth #Mothmatter
