Clear and moon-lit

A very average catch on Thursday night, there weren't many moths at all.

 

But a poorer night than of late was made up by recording a new garden moth, and a macro moth at that (which are getting harder to add now)

The May Highflyer isn't a common moth, morelike frequent, but commonly distributed throughout most of the British Isles.

It is the 810th species to be recorded in my garden since August 27th 2021. 

I also got a year first Common Wainscot, which was very lively!

Things must pick up again soon, but we need cloudy and warm nights.

 

Moth garden list for 2024 stands at 201 species
