3 new species including a micro migrant garden first!

A break from mothing recently, but a reasonable catch was made on the 7th of November, which included 3 new species for the year (and possibly the last for this year).

The only other expectded species that should turn up from now until year end, will be the Winter Moth. But that wouldn't count on my year list, as I already recorded in January earlier this year.

 

Best moth was a garden first migrant micro, the small Crocidosema plebejana.

 

Scarce Umber and December Moths were nice also, as well as the 2nd Autumnal Moth of the year.

 

That's it for now. 

Moth garden list for 2025 stands at 675 species
