A few more native species have turned up at the house including Pale Beauty, Campaea perlata, Dark Marbled Carpet, Dysstroma citrata and Pale-marked Angle, Macaria signaria. Also a rather nice greenish pug which may prove impossible to identify. (22/6/2010 - this turned up again and was in fact 'Green Pug' - Pasaphila rectangulata, another European species! According to bugguide it was only introduced in 1970.)
Campaea perlata - Pale Beauty
Dysstroma citrata - more typically dark than the Vancouver Island specimen
Macaria signaria - this is a subspecies (dispunctata) of the moth known as Dusky Peacock in the UK (subsp. signaria)
