Latest from the home moth trap

Another good catch last night, with a different set of moths appearing at the trap.

I finally caught up with the Blood-vein, my first this year! in fact i've only seen a couple this year whilst trapping in the field.

Two other species were also added to the year list, a Black Rustic and the Sallow.

 

Other than that it was a typical early Autumnal catch with a great variety of shapes, colours and sizes.

 

One more mild night before it turns a bit rubbish.
