Cydonia oblonga 'Meech's Prolific'

Found this on my quince a few weeks back - its "whiskers" were enormous! I wasnt sure what it was until it flew off #wildlifewednesday #whiskerswednesday 🦋

@juliesgarden had one like this in her garden too 😊

Looks very similar to a St. Mark's fly or Hawthorn Fly..

@solly1961 we get a lot of those, but definitely a moth rather than a fly.

My apologies Michelle I should have noted the whiskers in the photo, definately not a fly then 🤣.Try Adela reaumurella https://ukmoths.org.uk/species/adela-reaumurella Green longhorn moth

Thanks Mark! @solly1961 @juliesgarden Julie, Mark has found our moths!

A friend too, caterpillar feeds on 🍃 litter

Oh wow thanks Mark 👏👏 @michelleh 👍🏻👍🏻😊

I cut this down last year because it was sick. It has earned it right to stay!
