The nutmegs Myristica are a genus of evergreen trees indigenous to tropical southeast Asia and Australasia.
Nutmeg is the actual seed of the tree, roughly egg-shaped and about 20-30 mm long and 15-18 mm wide, while mace is the dried "lacy" reddish covering or arillus of the seed.
Nutmeg powder is used as an ingredient, in small quantities, in the Indian spice mixture garam masala, which is a mixture of dry spices.It is also used as a flavouring agent in Indian sweets.

 CARDI's focus on diseases affecting sugar cane, nutmeg may be paying off
Because of environmental concerns the Moth Borer's control by pesticide was not a feasible method in Barbados and as a consequence biological control was considered to be the best and safest control strategy for this pest.
"Nutmeg wilt" was reported as early as 1941 and surveys over the years have shown that the disease was widespread.
The research team identified the organism as the fungal pathogen which infects and kills the fine feeder roots of the nutmeg tree, which in turn prevents the absorption of water and nutrients by the plant.

Macro Moth distribution in the North of Ireland
Nomenclature and species order is taken from the book "Colour Identification Guide to Moths of the British Isles", by Bernard Skinner (published by Viking Books of Harmondsworth, Middlesex, England, in 1984).
Another species, the Fen Square-spot Diarsia florida, reported in Ireland only from Rathlin Island, Co. Antrim, may perhaps only be a sub-species or form of the Small Square-spot Diarsia rubi.

We must thank various experts who have helped, and continue to help with the difficult task of identification.
Planting large numbers of native plant species, especially trees and shrubs, has clearly helped to build up the breeding moth population.

 Cheshire Macro-Moth Report - 1996
Perhaps this shows that we have been working harder and more systematically and that we have some new and very active recorders, but there is clear evidence that several species are extending their range and turning up for the first time in light-traps that have been run regularly for many years.
We did record two species new to the County and one of these was the rare immigrant, the Ni Moth, which was taken on Hilbre Island (SJ18) on the 21st June 1996 by Gavin Broad.
One wonders how many other Ni Moths came in amongst the clouds of Silver Y's and were not detected.

One point worth noting for those who have trouble differentiating between Nutmeg's, Brocades, and Arches; a useful diagnostic mark to pick out the Nutmeg is the pale patch on the termen (end of the wing) just inboard of the apex (tip).

I'd probably have that down as Large Nutmeg and would just as likely be wrong.

I had a Nutmeg recently and it took a couple of goes to come to the ID. Today's moth seems to lack the 'W' on the subterminal line - see attached pic of the recent Nutmeg.
No disrespect to the photographer, but it appears slightly over exposed and the moth may well be duller than appearance on screen in real life.
