Better,......08/06

A much better night with less rain! Unlike last night, we managed another few debutant's for the garden......

Mottled Rustic

When I saw this, I thought it was another Pale Mottled Willow. They do look similar, but this is darker with a larger stigma..........

Silver-ground Carpet

After seeing a few at Broom GPs, it was nice to finally get it in the garden.

Choristoneura hebenstreitella

I potted this and got an acceptable photo- I think it's Choristoneura hebenstreitella (983) but I'm open to a more learned diagnosis?- Thanks David!
