OK, maybe only hardcore Divine Comedy fans will get the title joke, but here are a couple of photos of a Buff-tip moth with a 'smiley face' caught last night in the garden (and spotted by Sophie. I just scribbled 'Buff-t 1' in my moth notebook, and then carried on going through the other 80-odd species in the traps). It looks a bit like Thomas the Tank Engine from the side.... if Thomas the Tank Engine was about 3 cm long and had wings. And legs instead of wheels. And had evolved to look like a broken birch twig.
