First moths for Feb

A little milder out there lately, so I popped the trap on on Friday night and again last night.

 

3 moths on Friday night and 6 last night was an average return for my garden in early February.

 

A trio of Common Quaker and duo of Tortricodes alternella were two species new for the year.

 

Might try again tonight if the rain isn't too heavy.

 

Moth garden list for 2026 stands at 10 species
