Very fascinating and informative article as always Dennis! The section about the Oak Beauty reminded me of the rare form named berus I was lucky enough to encounter last year in my Plumpton garden. Colin informed me that "It's never been reported from Sussex before - that is, since the first adults were caught in the county during the 1850's."
Another great read Dennis. Very interesting piece on Mr Leach.
Thanks
Thank you!
The people you write about are as interesting as the moths! Thank you!
Aren't they just?! Yesterday I was writing next week's issue and made a rather similar comment in the text.
I hope that 'Enjoying Moths' has justified my recommendation!
Absolutely!

Thanks Chris, yes that's quite a distinctive aberration isn't it!
