Harbottle 4-07-09

Another visit to Harbottle with a look at a Moth Trap, some of those caught where new to me I forgot to get the list of them and the few photos I took where hurried and not very sharp, one reason was a lot of moths had settled near the trap and it was feared they would get stood on if people moved to much , a walk along a forest track I was surprised to find Pirri Pirri it seems to be doing well and will spread rapidly at least along the edges, another Speckled Wood in a clearing at Harbottle , with also lots of Ringlets, Meadow Browns, and a few Common Blue.

Pirri Pirri

I think this is Strangalia maculata

I was informed this was a Longhorn beetle, called a Slash Beetle due to the markings on its back cant seem to find it in my book

Poplar Hawk moth one of four
