No sign of the predicited wave of Painted Ladies in these parts yet. But then the original influx appeared to have passed Barnehurst and Bexleyheath by, with only 2 specimens (at once) in my garden, and odd singles noted across the area when out on my perambulations.
1 Painted Lady in the garden today, plus 2 Old Lady moths and a Large Yellow Underwing yesterday, the moths found resting in a pile of clutter under the kitchen window.

23/7/09: Old Lady visits as reptile 'returns'
The female Slow Worm was back on the placcy bag-covered heap in my garden today, after quite a few days AWOL.
And this Old Lady moth (Mormo maura) was found in the lounge this afternoon. It's a locally distributed species whose larvae feed on Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa), and other shrubs and trees.
