The trap is full currently, full of lots of browns and greys, Vine's Rustics, Turnip Moths, Nutmegs and Common Wainscots all going bananas.
On Saturday night it was a little cooler but it was cloudy so no moon to contend with (although that is now waning now).
I was extremely pleased to pot up a Hellinsia plume species on the fence, my second of this genus after taking Mugwort Plume (Hellinsia lienigianus) 3 years on a trot. This newest addition being the Citron Plume (Hellinsia carphodactyla) and the 909th species for the garden.
The only other new species was both sexes of the Orange Swift.
Turbulent weather currently, but still fairly warm at night for now.
Moth garden list for 2025 stands at 607 species
