Another very chilly night and no moths except a Sabulodes aegrotata which we found the night before last and has been resting on the window frame since. Catching up with photographs taken in the summer, this is of the same Boarmiini tribe as the two below. Like Melanolophia the larvae feed on Douglas Fir and various other conifers. On that topic, the Douglas Fir branch I had been keeping in the garden with Silver-Spotted Tiger larvae feeding on it has today disappeared - no doubt 'tidied away' by someone.
