News from Woolpit

A busy night for me in the garden last night with 43 species identified and one still to be confirmed. Of those identified, the pick of the trap was a single Shoulder-striped Wainscot. Also noted were 2 Elephant Hawks, Scalloped Oak, Burnished Brass, Ghost Moth (female), 2 Peppered Moth, Marbled Beauty, Dot Moth and Clouded Border to name but a few. The ‘to be confirmed’ is looking good for Rhopobota naevana – the Holly Tortrix – which would be another new moth for the site.
