Another weeks mothing round-up

Still quiet, but some good moths still around, and plenty of migrants (which could also be home grown species now, who knows.

3 new species for the year this week, all on different days. Sprawler on Monday, November Moth on Tuesday & Acleris notana/ferrugana on Friday

Other notables included some late'ish flying species, Clepsis consimiliana, Blastobasis lacticolella, White-point and an odd Noctua retained for dissection (in case of it being tertria) It's a female, so we will see.

Moth garden list for 2024 stands at 619 species
