Last Wednesday was another warm and settled day, but by night we had a few showers and this increased the humidity by a lot.
Moths and humidity go together like lamb and mint, and the uptick in activity is noticeable. Indeed there were around 70 species noted in and around the trap, house walls and on the fences.
I once again potted up as many new species as I could, before turning in at midnight.
A Spilonota species was retained which could well be laricana, as it looks like ones i've recorded before in Larch woodland previously.
A smart looking Dun-bar was also nice to see.
Common Wave & Chilo phragmitella were new species for the garden, 1 away now, from 750 species for the garden.
15 new species was great to add.
Only new for year species listed below.
Moth garden list for 2023 stands at 433 species
