\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Gordon Hart sends photographs of two moths from Highlands.\u00a0 \u00a0They look as though they should be easy to identify, but both belong to genera that include some very similar species, and we can’t be sure.\u00a0 The first one is probably Xanthorhoe defensaria \u2013 <\/em>but it might be X. ferrugata<\/em>!\u00a0\u00a0 And the second is probably Drepanulatrix monicaria <\/em>\u00a0– but it might be one of the others!<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Your knowledge of Latin will tell you how many spots this ladybird beetle is supposed to have.\u00a0 But since the spots are joined together, it’s a bit difficult to count them.<\/p>\n
