A couple of species of moths have made appearances in th last few evenings to the village:
The first was a Red Underwing Catocala nupta which was found in my bathroom! It has a wingspan of up to 80mm.
But the best one was this lovely beast found and photographed by Jim and Alice down in the valley below the village last week.
This is a female Giant Peacock Moth Saturnia pyri . which is also a very large moth with an wingspan in excess of 100mm. (the hand in view is that of an adult man!!!)
