Here is a ready for take-off video of a second Blossom Underwing. You can just about make out the pink underwing.

Still very early in the season. Chilly nights = few species/numbers currently.
However, today's #MothOfTheDay is another new species for my garden.
BLOSSOM UNDERWING
Orthosia miniosa
Larvae feed on oak. Pinkish hue to underwing (see next take off video)

Not really much happening on the #mothing front at the moment. There are a few species around, but I only seem to be attracting Common Quakers and Hebrew Characters ... and nothing else.
This Hebrew Character -- so called because its stigmata resembles the Hebrew Character Nun (נ) -- was a compliant little poseur this morning though.
