Hello, from Steve Garten and welcome to my weird and wonderful world of moths.
I’m amateur Lepidopterist, I trap and record moth species on my six acre wildlife meadow at Tibenham Norfolk, UK.
The list of moths listed in this Micro-moths blog and the Macro Moths blog are the species I have recorded since 2015.

Its favoured habitat is in open grassland or farmland areas and damp meadows.
The moths can be found on the wing in July and August..
The species' life history is the larvae feed on Cow Parsley and sometimes other plants such as Hemlock, in rolled or spun terminal leaves.
