Herald Moth huddles in the cellars of @ntmountstewart Temple of the Winds.
This yrs count way down on last year (87 vs near 200).
Going to follow up in early Jan as it has been very warm. Perhaps not all in to overwinter yet. Vid later this week.

Counted three mullein #moth #caterpillars in the #garden today. I know they can be devastating to some plants but even so all welcome as plants can be replaced and #wildlife can’t. #conservation #nature #environment #GardeningTwitter @savebutterflies @BritishMoths @MothNight
