Thursday night from the moth trap

Another good night here on Thursday with plenty of common moths present, but it's always worth keeping your eyes peeled for something different, and indeed there were just a couple, but well worth it for a few quality moths.

Webb's Wainscot was the highlight for the macros, not a common moth here.

For the micros the year newbie was the migrant Udea ferrugalis, the wish of a migrant in my previous post was granted!

 

The moths are still coming to the trap thick and fast most evenings now as the temperature remains above 18 degrees until at least midnight. 

 

Moth garden list for 2023 stands at 569 species
