Bloxworth Snout still present in the fog.

Thursday 14th April 2022.


 I found the Bloxworth Snout by the back window, some distance from the moth box this morning.

Well, the fog put paid to a ‘sea-watch’ early this morning and thankfully, I had the moth box to fall back on. Not as many moths as yesterday, but not a bad variety again with the Bloxworth Snout found again and my first White-shouldered House Moth for April near the white sheet. The following moths were present this morning:

  • 3 Early Grey
  • 1 Brimstone Moth
  • 1 Bloxworth Snout
  • 10 Common Plume
  • 1 White-shouldered House Moth
  • 2 Light Brown Apple Moth 


Above, an Early Grey and below, the Brimstone Moth.
