Meadow Grasshopper, Chorthippus parallelus |
On the afternoon of August 18th I walked round various parts of Houghton Forest and found some new insects. Today's news story of the Box Tree caterpillar that is spreading in the country caused me to look for a picture of the moth, and it is a beauty. It reminded me of a moth I photographed in the Maldives in 2011, which I have now identified from a gallery of Sri Lankan moths:
