Fining down after the heat

A much quieter night last Thursday, around 60 odd species and only a handful of new species were recorded.

Best were a smart Royal Mantle, a moth I get usually only once a year, and a garden first Agriphila inquinatella, so well worth rising once more at 4am.

 

The weather has gone to pot now, with cooler days and cooler night for at least another week sadly, and typically during peak moth season!

 

Moth garden list for 2024 stands at 416 species
