Another very decent catch for the time of year with 36 moths of 19 species to the Actinic box trap. The night started very mild after a fairly warm day peaking at 17 degrees. By this morning it was 8c and still cloudy which helped to obscure the moon.
Two new moths for the garden were recorded, a rather smart Mottled Umber, living upto it's name! And a dissected Pale November Moth (After dissecting one last week for a friend in the same village).
Macro Moths i'm still hoping to see here are as follows (And in rarity order from most expected to least expected). Pink-barred Sallow, Winter Moth, December Moth, Brick, Yellow-line Quaker, Sprawler Scarce Umber, Pale Pinion, Dusky-lemon Sallow, Tawny Pinion, Black-spotted Chestnut, Cypress Carpet.
Moth garden list stands at 214 species.
