 <\/p>\n

An exciting moth day, capped off by a nice pterophorid from Sharon Godkin.\u00a0 Known as the Geranium Plume Moth, though the caterpillar feeds on a wide range of plants as well as geraniums.\u00a0 Sometimes found in greenhouses.\u00a0 Not sure if the “Geranium” if its names refers to plants genuinely in the genus Geranium<\/em> or to the popularly mis-named “Geranium”\u00a0 – actually Pelargonium.<\/em><\/p>\n
