A super dark Pediasia contaminella

Back on the 31st of August I trapped a total of 38 species overnight, with lots of repeats.

 

One moth however stood out, an extremely dark grass moth, sitting in it's characteristic head-down pose, it was to be a late new for year Pediasia contaminella.

 

And that was it, the one new species, August wasn't the best after the thrill of Julys catches.

 

We now move into September. 

Moth garden list for 2025 stands at 628 species
