Twin-spotted Quaker

I've been a little quiet lately on this blog to say the least. But perhaps I'll start again. After a great weekend walking along the South Wales Coast last month I put a moth trap out in the garden hoping for a better catch than I had last time. This was a reasonable hope, there was no rain, it was warmer than it has been and the north-easterly wind settled little bit. So out it went, lighting up the back garden like a signal to any aliens that might be cruising overhead. Next morning however was a bit of a disappointment. I only found a solitary moth. And not the most exciting looking moth at that. I've been looking at the Facebook entries of the members catches over the last few weeks, and all I can say is that I now have moth trap envy. However, I shouldn't be too disappointed as this turned out to be a new moth for the garden. Pictures slightly fuzzy, but it was an iPhone photo early morning before rushing off to work. Might you the whole moth is slightly fuzzy,
