In limited supply

Not particularly cool nights but a little breezy and numbers are still well down for July, so there's not been much interest this past week.

Tuesday night yielded quality over quantity, with a stunning form of Buff Ermine (A form i've seen before here, with much darker connected markings across the breadth of the wings.
 
Marbled Beauty was a good year tick, such a pretty species and my second Oak Nycteoline of the year, a very strikingly streaked markings, completely different to the form from February.
 
The first of many Blastobasis adustella also turned up and a third Triaxomasia caprimulgella to the LUN lure was notable.

Still dreadful weather, wet, cool and uninspiring.
 
Moth garden list for 2024 stands at 430 species
