Longhorn Moths at Warnham

Longhorn Moth, Nemophora degeerella

This morning we visited Warnham Nature Reserve for two reasons. The first was to photograph the Longhorn Moth which Mark had alerted me about. The second was to have a delicious lunch. We were not disappointed on either count. The walk around the reserve was a delight, especially the boardwalk. There were plenty of insects on the Umbellifers so I was able to capture shots of various beetles and fliesincluding the Red-headed Cardinal beetle and the Tobacco-coloured Longhorn Beetle.
