A super set of moths

After Friday's warmish night of around 12 degrees, the nights are getting chillier now, and more often than not are dipping into mid to high single figures, of course to be expected this time of year.
 
A short post as I am once again feeling groggy from a cold courtesy of school!

3 new moths for the year were added on Friday, and 3 stunning species in their own right.

2 more Clifdens was great to see, both worn however and a late Common Marbled Carpet was also a nice form.

Moth garden list for 2022 stands at 645 species
