Stars of the catch for 19 May 2014. This color form of the Pale Tussock was also seen a lot around Sussex this year. Would be interesting to know if the caterpillars or pupae of this form are darker as well or if the wet weather helped this color survive better this wet winter, with no snow and wetter darker trees, they over winter as a pupa, but you never know.

This moth flew in and started fluttering around our feet, so I thought to keep him safe I'd gently catch him and place him in the trap, as I tried to get him off my leg, he gripped ahold of me so tight that he scrunched up my pant leg. I could feel his little claws through them on my knee..lol We did eventually get him removed safely from my clothing.

A friend brought this to me, he found it wandering around at a round about. He is now resting, awaiting spring in leaves on my paito :) (the caterpillar not my friend haha)
