At the start of September, numbers of species were quite low and usually expected here as the overnight temperatures start to wane.
But there is always a chance of a really good moth, think quality over quantity from now until next May!
On the 2nd of September there was only 1 new moth for 2025, but it was a new species for the garden, a super Chevron.
It is the 43rd new species added to the garden this year.
Other notables included a tatty late Silky Wainscot, only the 2nd Dewick's Plusia this year, and a glut of 14 Broad-bordered Yellow Uncderwings.
Moth garden list for 2025 stands at 629 species
