More Dickey Moths...

I had such a good time at the Dickery that I thought I'd post a few more photos of some mothy delights from the trap...


This is the complex looking Fillet Dart. Is a pretty swish noctuid that I don't catch too often, though it is by no means uncommon. Ths larva feed on blueberries.


The super Fringe-Tree Sallow. Another moth that falls into that "I don't get this too often" category! Often this is because the moths in question have short flight periods and are very host specific and are thus quite local. The larval foodplants include ash, feverwort and fringe-tree.


Out of the many Catocala species this is one that I've seldom seen over the years, though at Dickey lake the Similar Underwing seems to be not uncommon. This one is an oak-feeder.


I'm a big fan of pyralid moths, especially the members of the crambidae. All are small, pencil-slim creatures which often display lovely and complex patterns on the wings. This one is Catoptria latiradella. It must be rather local becaues I've only seen it a two localities - here and at Portage Lake. It is one of my favorites...


Lastly the impressive Great Tiger Moth. Before this I'd only seen this large tiger at Portage Lake - it seems to be rather local. The same species (though a different subspecies) occurs in UK where it is called the Garden Tiger Moth and is much more common.
