St. Swithun's Day if thou dost rain, for forty days it will remain...

And so the rain has gone on, with periodic spells of sweltering, humid sunshine. Nonetheless, with July almost over it was high time for some mid-summer mothing. The trap has been on for the past two nights. After some heavy predation by the lizards and a bit of clumsy potting, here are the photographs of the remaining moths. Of course, the star of the show was our noisy cicada (or 'avocado' as William preferred to call it) who was happily released back into the garden, slightly confused but none the worse for wear.
