73.327 Dark Sword-grass to MV light at the visitor centre, Cromwell Bottom on Oct. 8th 2023. My second one and so much fresher looking than my first.

73.328 The Flame to light at the cabin at Cromwell Bottom on June 26th 2021. On capture it little resembled its usual appearence until it became relaxed and wrapped its wings around its body.

73.338 True Lover's Knots to MV light at Turgate Delph, Norland on July 17th 2022. I think it's fair to say that it was a good night for them with 47 on just one side of this egg tray - the grand total that morning was 571!

73.342 Large Yellow Underwing eggs on a Hawthorn leaf found at Tag meadow, Cromwell Bottom, Aug. 11th 2017. This single batch contains 676 eggs which pales in to insignificance compared to the 1,383 that I found on a Hawthorn leaf by the towpath at Copley in August 2010. I wonder what the record is?

 73.342 Large Yellow Underwing eggs hatching, Aug. 15th 2017. Four days later and the eggs are hatching in synchronicity - needless to say 600+ went straight back outside to fend for themselves.

73.342 Large Yellow Underwing larva at 4mm, Aug. 30th 2017. One of the above batch grazing on the underside of a leaf - they were VERY slow growing.
