A couple more to add to the list

Starting to catch up now, as the weather has gone rather polar at night recently, especially with these keen east winds.

Last Friday I managed a 2nd garden record of Four-spotted Footman, another male.. fantastic!

New species for the year included two uncommon species for my garden, both rather battered sadly, the Small Wainscot much worst off! The other was a rather poorly marked Autumnal Rustic.

Cacoecimorpha pronubana had a big flurry last week, with loads of males turning up, one was a nice female though.

It's still worth running the trap on warm nights I feel. 

Moth garden list for 2025 stands at 643 species
