Finally, some welcome visitors

After what seemed like ages since I last had a good selection of moths, last night delivered in spades. Well for my garden at least!

I've only had two new for year species since the 5th of January, over a month! 

The garden list before last night was on 6 species, that has now risen to 11 with 5 new additions overnight.

What's more, one species was completely new for the garden, the first new species of the year and moth no.795.

The micros all came in before midnight (Bar the Acleris). The 3 macro species came in after I went to bed.

I will try again tonight as it is very calm and relatively mild, but it will drop a little lower than last nights 10c minimum.

Moth garden list for 2024 stands at 11 species
