It's been a bit quiet here recently, with cold night-time temperatures down to as low as 3 degrees! the temperatures have recovered since, but then we got battered by an ex-tropical storm which brought howling winds and sharp showers.
Thursday night was fairly settled (before the storm) but was still a bit chilly at 7 degrees minimum.
A small selection of moths greeted me come the morning.
The best was a mint female Large Wainscot and a rather smart orange suffused Beaded Chestnut.
The Large Wainscot is moth species no.646 for the year, still around 10 species to add before the year is out (hopefully).
Moth garden list for 2022 stands at 646 species
