A brief post from last Wednesday night's trap

Not much at all here now, well I say not much, still 50+ Flounced Rustic and 30+ Vine's Rustics most nights, but variety has tailed off now.

Yet another garden tick with the appearance of Lathronympha strigana, and which now brings the site list upto 784 species.

A fresh pre-hibernation Agonopterix subpropinquella was nice, only the 2nd this year, and a second brood Epinotia immundana. A moth that sometimes people confuse with Epinotia nisella (As like me, some people forget about the second brood).

 

Argyresthia albistria was a late addition to the year also.

 

That's all for now, cool breeze and chilly night abound.

 

Moth garden list for 2023 stands at 587 species
