Another Uncertain!

 Hi Woofers.

Daisy here.

Well, it's been another day and another moth. OTL went out early and found a moth in the trap, only problem is, after searching the reference books we still don't know the name!

We have looked on line at all the Kent Moths and the Complete UK Moth Guide and couldn't find a match!

There was one guide that claimed there was over two thousand UK moths in the UK but we still couldn't find a match!

So, anyone fancy making a guess?

 The red patch on its head is where we think it has been bashing its head on the egg boxes!

It has been very windy today and OTL didn't bother with the camera 'cos the only thing flying was the gulls!

No sign of Devo, I reckon we get down the sea front too early, maybe I should leave it to later to catch him, that means I will let OTL stay in bed longer than normal!

OTL has been watching a new DVD, The Mandalorian, it's a Star Wars type film that is shown on the Disney Channel but he purchased the series one and two on DVD.

The Missus watched if for ten minutes then fell asleep so OTL and I have had a cuddle and so far, we are up to channel four!

Bye for now,

Luv,

Daisy.

A New Moth?

Hi Woofers,

Daisy here.

Good fun today, Old Two Legs has been searching the Internetty and his reference books trying to identify a moth that we found in the moth trap this morning.

Trouble with moths is that there are two types of moths, like one is big and coloured but the other type all look the same, brown and indistinct.

It seems that we get the second type in our garden which has OTL banging his head on the office wall!

After extensive study we reckon this is The Uncertain!

Mind you, it is well named 'cos we are just as Uncertain ourselves!

I hung around waiting for Devo but he didn't turn up, maybe he stayed in bed cos it was very windy along the sea wall.

No Devo, let's get on home to the warm!

Lunchtime we walked all the way through the forest and along the Puma Path but when we entered the forest the sign said Puma Path but there are so many paths when we came out it was miles away from the Puma Path!

Is it this way?

Mind you, we came across these flowers in a spot where the wind wasn't blowing.

Looks like it is poking its tongue out on the bottom green buds!

It was just the same with this one as well, we have never noticed this before, must get a closer look tomorrow!

 

 OTL reckons that after a bee has been in and pollenated the flower, the 'Bell' drops off leaving the green buds to grow into seed pods.

Well, that’s just as good a reason as any!

We have all been lazy today, it's all this getting back to work that wears you out!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.
