Large Emerald Moth .. July 1st 2011

Hi,

I was walking around the tool store, when I happened to notice a strange colour of green on some of the grass.  Just a very small bit, say an inch by half an inch.  It looked a little like the green fungus that can affect pine wood.

On closer inspection it was one of the front wings of a large emerald moth.  Or should I say late moth.

Ah well.

There do seem to be plenty of butterflies emerging.  Masses of Meadow browns, still some small heaths, green veined white, comma, red admiral, plenty of large skippers.

But no gatekeepers or second batch of blues yet.
