First time seeing Parachute #fungi on a Sycamore seed. Tiny & difficult to photograph, but perfect little beauties.

Monday 12th October I've lost count how many Dog Rose shrubs i've looked at this year in the hope of finding a early stage Coleophora gryphipennella and at the end of my morning walk i finally got lucky on a roadside verge by Asda, Summerston. #teammoth

Quite a decent turnout last night #teamMoth 40 moths of 16 species, including an ab capucina Green-brindled Crescent and a non-ab. The Cypress Carpet I mentioned last night was joined by two Spruce Carpet and two Least Carpet (none of these moths eat carpets!)
