A brief post from the 18th of May

I trapped once again on Wednesday night, and with a cooler night than of late, moths were few and far between.

It was nice to get a second (fresher) Plutella porrectella of the year and the best moth was a White-spotted Pug, a new one for the garden.

Spruce Carpet was a returner from last year.

 

Light Brocade are peaking now here, with 10 showing up.

It's good to sometimes get quieter nights inbetween the busy nights, as it allows me to catch up a bit!

Moth garden list for 2022 stands at 219 species
