I've had some good moths in May - you may have been away when I posted my 'goodie'. :-) I thought it might have been a click beetle as I've seen some indoors as they come in with the firewood. I've not looked into specific species - can't say they really excite me enough to look into! :-) Cheers.Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-91734599468300884242016-06-05T22:55:40.141+02:002016-06-05T22:55:40.141+02:00I'm going to look into whether Voltarol is sti...I'm going to look into whether Voltarol is still available - if not I'll ask my doc about it next time I'm there. Cheers for that Roy. I like the film title too. Forgot to say, Sue has renamed him now she has him back, so hopefully as 'Flash' he will behave himself!Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-69342209117407004462016-06-05T22:51:40.642+02:002016-06-05T22:51:40.642+02:00Thanks very much Caroline.

I nearly went to the doc but then it started to get better so seemed pointless!<br /><br />Thanks for the possible moth ID. I really liked the Great Prominent! And it certainly might be sensible to stick with hens. :-)Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-68443340648914640782016-06-05T22:10:04.254+02:002016-06-05T22:10:04.254+02:00Interesting blog again Mandy.

Most I have caught thus far in one night was...oh now let me see.....two! Your beetle is a Click Beetle (Elateridae) but I afraid I don't know the species you get there...;-) Maybe something like Agrypnus?JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07910443806244769469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-82555346923225074712016-06-05T20:34:51.837+02:002016-06-05T20:34:51.837+02:00Thanks a lot Wendy.

Doubt if I'll have another one now. <br />Back is on the mend and I've been doing some gentle gardening and K has done tons of edging, which is what I had been doing when my back went. So it's looking nice and tidy now, at least some of the garden! :-)Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-35422971003896918712016-06-04T20:27:08.010+02:002016-06-04T20:27:08.010+02:00Further on Voltarol, I bought a big tube of it in ...Further on Voltarol, I bought a big tube of it in a Pharmacy in Paris when I was last there Didn't need a prescription, or in UK for that matter.Roy Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054701497328213666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-966115531893686632016-06-04T20:16:19.906+02:002016-06-04T20:16:19.906+02:00Regarding Randy (Sounds like the title of a film d...Regarding Randy (Sounds like the title of a film doesn't it), there is desperate and there is desperate, but I think you should have stretched his neck Mandy.<br />Regarding your back, 'Voltarol' is the stuff for that.{:))Roy Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054701497328213666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-54788583504511138692016-06-04T16:35:12.145+02:002016-06-04T16:35:12.145+02:00So sorry to hear about your pulled muscle Mandy (o...So sorry to hear about your pulled muscle Mandy (ouch) - they can be so very painful. Voltarol (sadly no longer available "over the counter" here but needs a prescription) was the only thing I found helped. Glad to hear it is a bit better now but take it slowly. So frustrating for you when you were so keen to garden :(<br /><br />Gorgeous photos of the moths - the Great Prominent is a beauty and one I have never seen. I think the last grey moth may be an Early Grey.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about Randy being so vicious but pleased he at least has been re-homed. If I ever keep hens will steer clear of cockerels!!Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-1179035418500247782016-06-04T12:53:52.707+02:002016-06-04T12:53:52.707+02:00I'm glad your back is better.

We've only had one and he wasn't very nice. He'd pick on the hens and attack my legs (and embarrassingly, other people we asked to look after our chickens away when we were away). After that experience, we're not tempted to have another one!<br />Your moth photos are stunning.<br />Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02792703802542843791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-41151852786902754712016-06-04T12:26:50.460+02:002016-06-04T12:26:50.460+02:00I didn't know that, but now I do.
