Female Winter Moth walking across old spiderweb with Harlequin Ladybird hiding underneath. Spotted yesterday in Grange Cemetery, Edinburgh. #Moths #WinterMoth #CemeteryWildlifeWatch recording activity on #iRecord.

The Winter moth season is over here.
The population dynamics of this species is interesting, with a major peak 10-12 year inbetween. We may have not seen the peak yet, it may come next winter season. It can then be a pest in orchards.

Operophtera brumata, commonly known as the winter moth, is now flying. The females are wingless, and the males are waiting for the females to emerge, and sit on branches and surfaces, waiting for the females.
