A buff tip moth, hoping to pass as a birch twig. Not unusual to find in our Gloucestershire moth trap but always lovely to see #mothmonday #teammoth

My first sighting of a large emerald moth. Beautifully marked, scalloped-edge wings, about 5cm across. Definite highlight of summer moth-trapping in Gloucestershire.

Yellow rattle and white clover aplenty, for #wildflowerhour. This #Cotswolds wildflower meadow is fairly new - it was sheep-grazed short grass until a couple of years ago.
