A good mixture of moths post storm

A blip of squally weather put to bed the idea of running my trap, so a few nights rest was welcome.

 

By Sunday night, the weather had calmed down somewhat and the trap was back on. 

 

There were two new species that attended the trap, the first of many Feathered Thorns and a sparkly Green-brindled Crescent, a common but stunning species. 

 

A single Rush Veneer was good to get, another rare species this year following on from how scarce the Diamond-back Moth has been in my garden.

A returning Grey-pine Carpet was good (Last seen in July) and both species of  Hypsopygia still hanging on, possibly my latest records of both.

Moth garden list for 2025 stands at 651 species
