Catch Report - 29/03/12 - Braughing Farmland/Garden

A very cool and chilly night and subsequently not many moths found this morning by recent standards.
But a bit more variety made up for the lack of numbers including only my second ever Pine Beauty and a garden first!
Also two Emmelina monodactyla and a single Brindled Pug (yes my first garden Pug of the year!) made up the other new species for the year.

It was also nice to see the spotless form of Twin-spotted Quaker as well.

    That P.B is a cracking moth...I got 1 last year and 2 the year before, so I'm hoping one turns up in the garden again very soon.

    Thanks Trent
    They are so lovely and so uncommon it is unbelievable!
    Nearly summer, I see some people are already trapping Muslin Moth and V-pug!

    Regards
