Latest catch

Hello reader's
On Monday night I set the trap up again expecting to see something new for the year, maybe just maybe...
The prediction was right and I was blessed with year firsts of both Frosted Orange and Acleris rhombana.
The catch was slightly better than I expected possibly due to a cloudy and slightly warmer (and a bit wet) night, but the increase was mainly the usual shades of dark brown this time of year.

Another hint of migration with another Udea ferrugalis, Silver-Y and Turnip Moth.

  1. I'm pleased someone could get a photo of a ferrugalis, I've had two Houdini's to date. Like the rhombana tho, I've only ever recorded it once
