Easington Moths.. 2 Merveille du Jours this morning, a dull one and an absolute stunner... even the markings differed between them..with black arrowheads along the fringe on the termen...They might not be rare, but if they were, I'd twitch one defo 🤩 😁 #teammoth #merveilledujour
Marvellous Merv. #MerveilleDuJour
One of the more unfathomable moths I know of, with an incredible "english" name - The merveille du jour, which means "the wonder of the day".
Its' larvae feed on oak, and it flies in September-October.

The Merv returned last night, with another Radford’s FS for company. Activity a little lower as the temperature drops. 73/23 in 3 traps at Gib Point. 600 looks a stretch now, without resorting to leaf mines anyway!

Merveille du Jour to light at Gibraltar Point NNR last night, caught by Nige Lound, a first for the reserve! A host of migrants included Musotima Nitidalis, 2 Gem, 7 Radford’s Flame Shoulder and 21 Udea Ferrugalis (R-d Pearl). Mega!
