The police don't do anything about it of course. Needless to say this has stuck in my memory!sillygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971787430517830586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-33386238598461952772017-06-11T14:32:27.401+02:002017-06-11T14:32:27.401+02:00maybe Tasha has a wee bladder issue (infection?) i...maybe Tasha has a wee bladder issue (infection?) if she is doing some odd peeingmelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14337254308066184912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-45712726745859080712017-06-11T10:57:43.758+02:002017-06-11T10:57:43.758+02:00I'm glad you have such informed readers.

I can tell you, but won't .... it would spoil your fun.<br />BUT.... a word of warning.... don't research too deeply.... you will end up with a moth trap and many books!!<br />Though you can have a lot of fun with an old white sheet and a powerful lamp.... not LED.... halogen is best, low energy is okay....<br />and whack the ISO up on your camera.... and try shooting at around f8.... you want to record the detail as best you can.... but not be fussed about a little 'noise'. There are some beautiful moths out there... some as big as a bat!<br />Have fun.... it is something that you can do of an evening.... I put the trap out twice a month and we have over 250 different species of large ones.... I haven't tried to identify any off the micromoths....but now have the books!<br /><br /><br />Le Pré de la Forgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396822372095610004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-37471904264847537042017-06-11T09:06:58.192+02:002017-06-11T09:06:58.192+02:00susan, thanks!susan, thanks!wcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551283829616757577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-16728054657443773412017-06-11T08:57:10.292+02:002017-06-11T08:57:10.292+02:00The butterfly is a male Marbled White Melanargia g...The butterfly is a male Marbled White <i>Melanargia galathea</i> (Fr. <i>Demi-deuil</i>).Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.com
