An unusual find today, resting on an outside window pane, was Choreutis pariana – Apple Leaf Skeletoniser. Flight period is listed as July & September, so this must be one that has overwintered.
Ran a couple of traps this evening more out of hope than anything. The thermometer showed 11 degrees at 8pm, but with clear skies it had dropped to 4 degrees by 10pm. Just over 100 moths trapped of 13 species of the usual ones for early spring, with just Brindled Beauty and Early Thorn being new for the year.
