70.141 Double-striped Pug in the garage at Skircoat Green, Mar. 25th 09. Captured by day.
70.144 Green Pug, one of two larvae found spun up in Blackthorn leaves at Park Wood Crematorium, May 7th 2018. Unfortunately this one was parasitised but the other went on to produce the moth pictured below.
70.144 Green Pug May 23rd 2018. Reared from a larva spun up in Blackthorn leaves at Park Wood Crematorium on May 7th that year. It was a distinctive green larva with an almost complete, red dorsal stripe. I had expected a more vivid green moth instead of one with the odd green trace here and there, still, I suppose it's greener and easier to ID than a lot you get in moth traps.
70.145 Bilberry Pug June 6th 2016. Reared from a larva found in spun Bilberry leaves at North Dean wood on May 16th earlier that year. It constitutes the first record for Yorkshire with previous records from Strensall Common being removed due to their origins not being confirmed.
70.147 Slender Pug nectaring on Ragwort at Tag meadow, Cromwell Bottom on July 25th 2017.
70.151 Foxglove Pug, a field observation at Carr Hall Lane, Stainland, July 7th 2017.
It also performs an important role where the spermataphore from the male is stored and digested, the signum tears open the package allowing the nutritious contents to be digested.
70.160 White-spotted Pug to MV light at Hollin Hall, Hardcastle Crags on May 25th 2023.
70.161 Golden-rod Pug, a male to MV light at North loop, Cromwell Bottom on Oct. 8th 2023.
70.161 A probable Golden-rod Pug larva on Ragwort at North Dean wood, Oct. 3rd 05. It appears they needing rearing through for a positive ID.
70.163 Larch Pug, a male to MV light at Cock Hill plantation, Portsmouth on June 23rd 2023. A pristine moth in what appears to be a mainly Larch woodland with smaller numbers of decidious trees.
70.168 Narrow-winged Pug, one of a dozen or so to MV and actinic lights at Turgate Delph, Norland on June 17th 2022.
70.173 Lime-speck Pug to MV light at the cabin, Cromwell Bottom, Aug. 3rd 2018. One of the more beautiful pugs especially when they're in this good condition.
70.179 Ling Pug of the form goossensiata to MV light at Manshead moor plantation, Ripponden on July 8th 2023. Known as the Ling Pug it was once thought to be a separate species in its own right but is now considered to be an upland form of the Wormwood Pug.

70.202 Early Tooth-striped at North Dean wood, Apr. 18th 06. A field observation on Elder.
70.203 Orange Underwing North Dean wood, Mar. 23rd 2010. One of at least three seen flying around the tops of birch trees in the early afternoon. No doubt much more common than my single record suggests. If you look around the tops of birchs here on a calm, sunny day in March I think they should be quite easy to find.
70.176 Freyer's Pug netted in the garden at dusk on May 17th 2020.
70.179 Wormwood Pug to MV light at the visitor centre, Cromwell Bottom, July 13th 2019.
