New Species - Ghost Moth
I was having a wander through the growing meadow area which is getting tall now the horses have gone when I spotted a moth clinging to a buttercup stem. It turned out to be a female Ghost Moth ( Hepialus humuli) which fortunately was the first entry in my weighty Field Guide on moths. It boasts a long body and an extravagant hairstyle but is apparently technically a micro moth, albeit a very large one.
