Daytime flying moth, caterpillars are yellow and black and usually seen on Ragwort.

The reserve has changed quite dramtically over the last few weeks; the seabird colony has departed and the cliffs are much quieter, less smelly affair! That's not to say that the reserve isn't teeming with life... the Chough families are busy foraging for insects, the Stonechat broods are confusing...

These day time flying moths were buzzing about the reserve at the end of June.

This moth was 1 of many that visited my moth trap last week (June) at South Stack, About 125 moths came to the trap of which there were approx 27 different species.

Another moth I caught in the mothtrap last week while at South Stack.

White Ermine moth caught in the trap.

Herald moth caught in my mothtrap, about 8 moths identified and a number escaped.

This photo was taken in August 2009. I am a volunteer at South Stack and take my moth trap when I am there, this is 1 of the many moths I trapped, I cannot wait to see what I catch this year. Hopefully will post some more photo's later this year.
