Dewick’s Plusia in Woolpit

My first post in a while due to a holiday interlude. Hoping to cash in on the recent amplana influx I put the trap out last night (18th Aug) and kept my fingers crossed. A pre bedtime inspection turned up a familiar looking, although somewhat active moth.  This morning I was able to confirm that I’d caught a Dewick’s Plusia. What a turn up! It’s a moth I always thought I stood a chance of picking up here but it still came as a bit of a surprise. Other highlights amongst the 60 sp’ recorded included Square-spotted Clay, Lesser Spotted Pinion, Mompha propinquella and Yponomeuta plumbella (also new to the site).
