What a lovely animal the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) is. We regularly see them trotting through our garden during the daytime and they always appear completely un-phased by the close proximity of Homo sapiens, a species they have every right to steer well clear of.
A couple of mornings ago, I spotted a fox sitting and preening itself just outside our back door. It seemed to like the warmth of the cast iron manhole cover and stayed for several minutes.

The names given to moth species are often descriptive. Here are three species from this weeks moth catches that fit their names very well.
Peach Blossom (Thyatira batis)
Blotched Emerald (Comibaena bajularia)
Barred Red (Hylaea fasciaria)
