Garden moths - 09/06/21

Still ticking over nicely here in my garden, the moths are trickling in at a steady pace for my garden, as the number of species increase on average, 8 per night.

 

But, my garden has always been low on numbers. Even during peak times, my catches are for example 60 moths of 42 species, the gap between species and numbers is mostly a 3/2 ratio.

 

A year first Brown Rustic was a real groggy specimen, not a common moth but just typical as I got another  last night and it was pristine!

 

Small Elephant Hawk-moth was the highlight of the night, so so pretty and again not common.

Again, i've only listed new for year species below due to time constraints.

Moth species for 2021 in the garden now stands at 123.
