Quick mothy update

Another warm day last Friday, and more moths added to the year list amongst a catch of around 70 species, i've never known a summer like this!

Best moths were the large (For a Pug) Yarrow Pug, the tiny Bucculatrix cristatella & the uncommon Eana incanana.

Brown-tails have since gone mad in my garden, with up to 6 a night, though not quite as mad as the 21 Leopard Moths last night!

The weather remains hot, dry and humid. 

Moth garden list for 2025 stands at 446 species
