Field Notes
Description:
A large moth (estimated 50mm long) with a thick white mane and a line of black spots with orange centres near the outer margin of the white wings. Wings held in a high tent shape at rest. Some dark smoky colour under the rear.
Habitat:
Attracted to mercury vapour lights at the local school.
Notes:
Only 2 shots for this one taken with maximum zoom as it was about 5 metres above me and refused to come down. Still there the following day. Spotting is therefore partly a placeholder in the hope it will be found there again. <br> Thanks Stephen Solomons for ID. Search would have been difficult because the male is black with brown trim !! Wingspan should be about 40mm <br> "White lasiocampid moth" <br>
