All Quiet on the Southern Front...

Another short session on the Leslie Street Spit proved rather fruitless yesterday evening. A bit too clear with a big moon and a little cooler than hoped for - is that enough excuses? Still, this nice Darling Underwing supped the golden goop for a while, and looked pretty good whilst doing so. I have to say that this is one of my very favourite of the genus - I like the dark slaty forewing with the delicate greenish overtones. And ya just can't enough of those flashy carmine hindwings...


Being a big fan of pyralids I'm always happy to catch the above species - Dicymolomia julianalis. Quite striking in it's own understated way.
