Latest from the moth trap - 17/10/21 - Fordham Garden

Another mild night, almost perfect but the catch was perhaps a little underwhelming for such great conditions?

It was good to see my 11th Blue Underwing from the garden, after last weeks tatty one, I thought they were nearly over, but this mornings specimen was pristine!

 

My nearby moth'er friend Leslie brought round a Gem he had in his garden last night, it is a stunning little moth, he also had a Pink-barred Sallow, another species that hasn't graced my trap yet.

 

A red-line Quaker was added to the garden list.

Moth garden list stands at 209 species.
