National Moth Night

Today is the Glorious Twelfth but last night was the inglorious eleventh. UK National Moth Night. So Roger Kendrick organised a Moth Night for HK. It followed the UK's tradition of rain, wind and occasional pestilence. The Four Horsemen looked at us and decided we had suffered enough. We did however see some nice bits and bobs. Here, for example, is a real Toad in the Hole:



And here is a Chinese gecko - what a cute little chappie:



Or how about this rather splendidly acrobatic Changeable lizard, Calotes versicolor, which steadfastly refused to move all evening:



And finally, a flutterby:



This is, I think, a Great mormon but I need to check. It was hanging on a bush, soaking wet at 9pm, totally oblivious to the barrage of flashguns.

So a testing evening for moths but highly productive anyway. Enjoy.
