Warmer days but still lacking humidity

Warmer days but still lacking humidity

Well, that was sunday night. We certainly have some welcome humidity in charge now (or un-welcome humidity if you value your sleep).

Far too tired after a busy weekend to do a full count, so I just noted the new species and any ones that were kept for dissection.

Some lovely species turned up, including an Orange-tailed Clearwing to it's lure (AND) during the day time. Lures have had a drought period in my garden lately so it was nice to break the spell!

Patio netting wasn't that profitable with no new species, quite often the case now as I just record the same species again and again.

Moths of the night included the uncommon Flame Carpet (2nd for the year), and a well marked Ancylis achatana. 

Some cloud at night would be most welcome, but they are all clear skies recently.

Moth garden list for 2025 stands at 318 species
