The last new species for awhile?

The 4th of November saw 2 new species for the year, and 1 new for garden species (which sadly got away when I went to pot it, drat).
December Moth was the first of many usually, there's now been 4 this week.
A very worn Orange Sallow was welcome, one of my latest record for this species, usually a early to mid September moth here. 
Last but not least was a flighty Ypsolopha ustella, which never made it in a pot for a photo! happens sometimes.
November Moth increased dramatically with 11 examples and the light brown apple jobs to 12.

On Wednesday night I just noted the potential migrants, of which there were a fair few still kicking around.

Things are going quieter and cooler now, about time I suppose. After all it is mid-November nearly!
