More Sevenoaks Moths

Mother-of-Pearl, Pleuroptya ruralis.  Micromoth.  Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve, 14 August 2011.
Larva eats rolled leaves of Common Nettle.

Here are the rest of the identified moths from Sevenoaks. As before, these and all the unidentified ones are in this Picasa album: Moths from Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve, 14 August 2011 And as before, that album includes these and the group I posted yesterday, so there will be some double exposure if you do follow this link.

This set begins with two micromoths. The Mother-of-Pearl at the top is one of my favourites from this session. I also like the colourful moth next down, and it's interesting to see two different forms of the same species, the Riband Wave, at the bottom.
