Warmest night brings my best catch of the year.

Been away for a few days visiting mum and dad so was hopeful of an improvement on my return but Neil’s best night only turned up 12 moths of 9 species. 4 list additions: Poplar Hawk, Pale Tussock, Lychnis and White Ermine. But last night (24th) gave an excellent count. Out of 72 moths there were 47 species and 23 were new to my list, hard work getting to grip with them all and still have 3 Tortricidae and a gelechid to identify. New to my list were: (sorry about the mixed order) Celypha lacunana, Chinese Character, Shears, Yellow Belle, Crambus lathoniella, Plutella porectella, Buff Ermine, Pebble Hook-tip, Common Swift, White Point, Coleophora albicosta, Evergestis forficalis, Least Black Arches, Pebble Prominent, Light Brocade, Mottled Rustic, Figure of Eighty and Treble Lines.
