Seeing the Changes 1604

A much better crop from my Loughor moth trap last night. There was a Dot moth (Melanchra persicariae), a Great oak beauty (Hypomecis roboraria) and numerous species of carpet moths. The highlights (the 3 at the top) were a Scalloped oak (Crocalis elinguaria), a Peppered moth (Biston betullaria) and an Elephant hawk moth (Deilephila elpenor).
