A couple of recent catches as temperatures soar in the daytime

A very warm spell came over us from Monday, but it was still very chilly at night with frosts.

By Wednesday night however, things improved overnight, and temperatures remained in double figures making the moths move once more.

A good selection over the past couple of nights, certainly a vast improvement on the whole of February.

 

Species I have yet to see (that I get annually) Early Moth, Chestnut, Dark Chestnut & Pale Brindled Beauty, some are getting worringly past their peak flight period. 

Spring Usher is a rarity here, dipping on it last year, will it reappear in time in 2025?
