60 Moths – 35 species and a min temp of 13.5c

Good to have my moth trap out at last here at Martlesham Heath – first time since March! I was very pleased to see 35 species in the trap and including 2 N. noctuella & 1 P. xylostella. Always good to see Pine Hawk making its first appearance and Neofaculta ericetella tested my memory once more although regular. Sandy Carpet, Red Twin-spot Carpet, Peacock, White Ermine & Small Phoenix good to see. My first Cinnabar sighting of the year too.
