Another good catch on 23rd

Not heard from Matthew recently I feel his traps must be bursting. 40 species last night from my two traps with a further Delicate, Gem and two Scarce Bordered Straws. 5 Great Diving Beetles too. 76 Beaded Chestnut now well ahead of the Noctua pronuba. Had a micro new to me too but annoyingly forgot which tube it was in and let it go whilst catching a Plutella. Most interesting to me though was a footman, a Buff Footman I think, in October! A little atypical as the hindwings are uniformly dark and darker than the also dark forewings. Forewing shape is typical Buff Footman though.
