in my Killingworth yard. First seen sunning on a bare patch in the lawn, and
then nectaring on the nearby buddleia.
I've also been getting a variety of catocalas to my light this month - finally!:
Catocala palaeogama (Old Wife)
C. subnata (Youthful Underwing) - new to the yard
C. Ilia (Wife)
C. retecta (Yellow-gray Underwing)
C. cara (Darling Underwing - found dead by a neighbor)
C. cerogama (Yellow-banded Underwing).
This year my area has been very slow for the "underpants" moths. Especially
with regard to the smaller ones.
