White Ermine On a rather chilly night Guy Broome and Peter Macqueen put moths traps out and presented their finds next morning at the flagship event of Butterfly Conservation, Cumbria Branch.
White Ermine is a beautiful moth. its black antennae slightly combed. Wings can be white or creamy, flecked with black, size and number of flecks variable. Pure white hairs thick about the head are perfect for the White Ermine moth.
Is wing-pattern identical through a species, a friend asks? Variability and mutation is a theme of Guy Broome's presentation entitled
The Impact of Climate Change on Cumbrian Moths.
