Stars of the catch 17 July 2013. Another we don't see often, and could be one of the ones that I let go onto the bramble on the patio earlier.

Some serious antenna action on these guys, but they have to find those females who can't move. Large eyes for such a small moth too.

Oddly the outside caterpillars took more time pupating, I still have one stubborn one on my rasberry plant eating away while these are all off flying the world.

There were loads of these guys, and I have a couple of pots of bramble on the balcony so this is one of the ones we put outside. We also released about 70 on other wild places.
