Latest from the garden moth trap

Another good session in the garden on Tuesday, particularly at dusk, with 4 new species of micro moth netted, a lovely variety as well.
The conditions were just perfect and warm enough for some activity.
 
Overnight there weren't many moths as it got cool early doors, so I just noted the new species and anything noteworthy. 
 
That little lot brings me over the 100 species mark for the year.

The days currently are probably around the seasonal average of 15 degrees max, with night time temperatures dipping to 5c, not perfect just yet, but next week looks rather tasty.

Moth garden list for 2025 stands at 104 species
