Back on the 9th of September I ran my trap once more, with expected southerly winds and a warmish evening, the speculation was there for something different to turn up, and I wasn't disappointed!
Best moth of the night went to the migrant Four-spotted Footman. Since this date and beyond to the present tense, i've had another one last night! Lots of others have also tapped into the explosion of a once quite rare migrant moth.
The supporting migrant cast included only my 2nd Dark Sword-grass of the year and my 2nd Scarce Bordered Straw also.
The rest of the trap was rather mundane but that's expected this time of year, you hope for the quality and boy did it deliver on that night.
Moth garden list for 2025 stands at 637 species
