We've seen these moths on outings but this is the first time we've had them on the balcony. Two in one night!

Stars of the catch for 19 May 2014.
This color form of the Pale Tussock was also seen a lot around Sussex this year.
Would be interesting to know if the caterpillars or pupae of this form are darker as well or if the wet weather helped this color survive better this wet winter, with no snow and wetter darker trees, they over winter as a pupa, but you never know.

This was a moth I found walking home from the Post Office one day, just up the street from our house. It is a Red Data Book Species and on the increase around most south coastal counties. Finding this one at this time of year suggests it over wintered and is a resident rather than a migrant.
The wet mild winter seems to have helped this species because we had several Sussex reports this year.

Going through to get my records for 2012 sent off to the Sussex Biodiversity Records Centre I found this little guy, and I didn't have a photo up yet so there he is. Nice little micro moth from June.
