Spectacle is another moth that is just starting to make its annual appearance in Caithness, this one was in my garden a couple of nights ago. It is named after the white goggle like rings on the front of the head. It will be with us until mid-July. It is a good excuse for keeping a patch of nettles in the garden as that is the larva's food plant.
