The best October catch so far here (granted i've only been here once before in October), with 72 moths of 28 species.
Migrants and micros abound, with a rather nice pink-flushed Vestal at the forefront.
There was also a really smart Plutella xylostella on the rainguard last night, worthy of a photo.
Lots of migrants turning up of the past few nights, and this could continue into the tail-end of next week, so keep those traps out.
Other than that, i'll let the list and photos do the talking.
