There are at least 21 species on this carton from Horton this morning - just for fun, anyone care to list them? (click on the image for a full size version).

  1. As no-one else has attempted this yet, here's my best guess, 22 species not including the little grey job in the bottom left:

    Garden Tiger
    Dark Arches
    Heart & Dart
    Heart & Club
    Swallowtailed
    Brimstone
    Clay
    Flame Shoulder
    Grey Arches
    Large Yellow Underwing
    Small Angle Shades
    Small Magpie
    Common Rustic agg
    Clouded Silver
    Buff Arches
    Mullein Wave
    Angle Shades
    Single-dotted Wave
    Crescent Dart
    C culmella? (top left)
    Marasmarchia lunaedactyla
    Dipleurina lacustrata

  3. Well done guys, from what I can see you both got the same correct answers with Dave getting the Anarsia and George the more cryptic culmella. I thought the Crescent Dart and Mullein Wave may have caused a few more problems - I'll have to make it more difficult next time ;)
