The day after

Tuesday night was a fairly warm day with highs of around 22 degrees, but it felt warmer in the prolonged spells of sunshine. 

The night was clear as a result and the moon was out, not ideal but it was still warm up until midnight.

 

A pair of Scorched Carpets were nearly 2 months late, as I usually see this towards the end of spring.

 

And the first of the box bush pests, Cydalima perspectalis (Box-tree Moth) was recorded a shade earlier than normal.

6 new ones keeps me ticking over nicely.

 

The subsequent nights went rather mad. 

Moth garden list for 2025 stands at 332 species
