On Saturday I returned the Muslin Moth moth to the woodland
where I found her. She had laid many eggs at home and when I put her on some
bracken she soon started climbing down and underneath a leaf. I hope she had
more eggs to lay.
I then headed up the track and met George, a retired bee
expert. He informed me there were some Grizzled Skippers back along the side of
the track. I located four of these and photographed one nectaring on Bugle.
There were many dozens of Pearl-bordered Fritillaries flying around and Speckled Yellow moths everywhere.
postscript - I originally mistook this moth for the similar White Ermine.
