It's that season where the Moths get less and less :( Me and Dave had a nice trip to the woods on November 28th with the torches looking for Winter Moth and we were in luck there was quite a few about and so much fun looking on the tree trunks for them much better than a night out in the pub lol
We potted a couple and photographed them in the morning my first photos of Winter Moth there so small and dainty I love them :)
The big surprise came on the night of the 7th of December with mild temps all night we decided to give the trap a go in Dave's garden I kept checking and nothing then just before half ten I glanced and saw something in the trap I knew right away what it was but lifted the glass up to look and there he was a beautiful December Moth the one I had been waiting and hoping for felt so lucky just couldn't believe it then I had a half an hour wait before Dave got home from work felt like forever I was so excited to show him when he got in I made him a coffee and took it in and said coffee and a moth his eyes just lit up and a massive smile on his face he knew it would be December Moth he was over the moon we were both like kids :) lol Such a stunning moth a lot smaller than I expected had made my December christmas had come early a lifer for me and a first for Dave's garden :)
I love my moths so much and can't wait for the warmer weather for some moths and Butterflies and Dragonflies and insects :)
I have definitely found my niche with my Moths and Insects my passion makes my heart beat with excitement when I get a new moth love the feeling :)
