Latest from the moth trap

And very quiet now.

Rain, lots of it have hampered trapping these past few nights,.

Wednesday night I didn't bother, but last night I gave it a go once more.

Around 40 species were noted, a big come down from the heady heights of earlier on in the week.

Flounced Rustic was the only new addition for the year.

Other highlights included 4 stunning Coronets, 15 Leopard Moth and a huge variety of Turnip Moths.

Is anyone else seeing record numbers of any of these macro species?

All of them have really gone mad in my garden this year. 

Still looking stupidly bland into the weekend, but there is a hint of warmer weather towards the end of next week.

Moth garden list for 2023 stands at 545 species
