Season's Greeting

Hello all.
Not much to report lately and with my wife not being very well I have had little time to think about moths.
I did trap on Monday night on the 21st and managed 5 moths including a year first Ypsolopha ustella, which I initially couldn't believe actually was a year first this late.
Other than that another Tachystola acroxantha was nice to get (6 records this year now proving that they must be breeding locally)
Merry Christmas...a day late but I hope you all have a lovely Boxing Day whether you are spending time with your family or hitting the sales!
