Wet, but much needed

A period of wet conditions currently, but not particularly cold or windy, with temperatures hovering around 8 degrees last night the trap was on once more.

Quite a different set of moths compared to Saturday night.

The top pair were new species for the year, the ever reliable Knot Grass, a common moth here and multi-brooded until September, and the much less common April moth, Powdered Quaker. 

Hit and miss now for the rest of the week, it's worth a punt.

Moth garden list for 2025 stands at 65 species
