Superb temperatures for Moths at the moment, this catch was made under not at all favourable conditions, with clear skies throughout the night.
Highlight was 4 new for years! (about time!) and a brand new Garden species, an Ochreous Pug!

Hi Ben,
ReplyDeleteHave you got any pine in your area? We caught Ochreous Pug in Chicksands Wood, which has a lot of Scots Pine.....Well done on an excellent garden tick!
