Fisrt Pug of the season

I trapped one of my regular sites yesterday evening for 2 and half hours on Belton Common, most of which is now a golf course but still with a good area of oak woodland. The temperature was still at 12 deg. at 7.00 dropping off to 7 deg. by 9.30, even so, there were lots off moths about. The first Pug of the year was Double-striped and Red Chestnut was also new for the year. Lead-coloured Drab was a new one for the site. The trend continued of large numbers of Small Quaker (118) and small numbers of Hebrew Character (2). Ypsolopha ustella was among the increasing numbers of micros. So 21 species and about 250 moths in the session.
