Four Pugs

Here are for of the pug moths I’ve caught over the last week or so. There are quite a bewildering number of often rather similar-looking pug moths to choose from, but these are some of the commoner ones at this time of the year.

#479 Common Pug (Eupithecia vulgata)

#749 Mottled Pug (Eupithecia exiguata)

#757 Foxglove Pug (Eupithecia pulchellata)

#762 Freyer's Pug (Eupithecia intricata)
