Wild Garlic and a Drab Looper

Drab Looper, Minoa murinata
During a visit on Wednesday to Rewell Wood I saw a patch of Wild Garlic and Wood Speedwell. I found a  two Scorpion Wasps and two moths: a Drab Looper and another Hemp-agrimony Plume.
Crab Spider, Misumena vatia
Hemp-agrimony Plume, Adaina microdactyla
Ramsons Wild Garlic, Allium ursinum
The Latin specific name 'ursinum' (ursa = bear) is due to the Brown Bear's taste for the bulbs. It is also known as Buckrams, Broad-leaved Garlic, Wood Garlic, Bear Leek or Bear's Garlic.
