It’s been a absolutely zero year for moths so far; apart from the usual plume and other micromoths, I haven’t seen anything with a wingspan over a centimetre yet. And then suddenly today, my wife spotted a peppered moth in the conservatory, but then it disappeared again. Later on she found it in the kitchen, where it has settled into one of her glass art pots. It stayed so quiescent for so long I thought it had died there, but I was later able to get it on to my finger and then on to a plant in the garden, so it seemed well enough.
