2020 August 8<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

   <\/strong>Gordon Hart photographed the moth below at his Highlands home on August 4.  Since we could see only the underside of the wings, I despaired (writes Jeremy Tatum) as to whether we could identify it.  For Libby Avis, however, nae bother!  Libby writes:  “That one’s easy – for once!<\/p>\n

Ceratodalia gueneata<\/em><\/strong>. We’ve had five this week in Port Alberni.  One of the few moths that always sit with their wings up. I would probably find it hard to identify it from the top side.”<\/p>\n

The first is one of those pugs that are awfully difficult to identify.  Jeremy Tatum writes:  I’ll label it possibly Eupithecia annulata<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong>– though it could well be something else!<\/p>\n
