grew up round there many years ago - near Jodrell bank and lived in Wilmslow and Holmes Chapel, before leaving home to see the world!

We have the same weather here winds from the Canaries could be good but rain continuously means we see nothing!

Certainly am- & unofficially I can tell you I have trapped an erebidae moth new for Europe & a tortrix new for Iberia, but I’m not allowed to tell you that till it gets published - Its a special place, but sadly now only 3 weeks left for me. Would be nice to meet you again in Sandwich or elsewhere!?

That sounds fair enough - I did wonder, but its a great record!

Great dissection and record. But this one doesnt actually need dissection for an ID. Cosmopolitan is distinctive with that characteristic diagonal shade to the apex.

Yes, I didnt know and had to google it!

Its still a Ruddy Streak to me - the name they were given in Australia! I dint know why the powers that be changed the English name!?

Thanks yes, I have the names on the photos with the alt button.

I see some idiot - ie me forgot to change the wording to part 2!!
