Moths.

[Merlin]

Had a couple of Moths in the house/garden recently and I'm relying on you Beryl to tell me what they are.

With many thanks in anticipation.

Beryl I doubt if this is ever going to happen very often, but I did some 'searching' myself and found the moth you identified as Straw Dot to be a Scalloped Oak.

I welcome any comments you make on this Beryl as I have come to respect your knowledge on 'wildlife' matters and your ID skills.

Excellent work Pete you are very right.
I did say "I think " So I wasn't 100% sure.
Well done
UK moths is a good site if you know the name to start with ................But then of course you wouldn't need to go their
