Early February Hollesley

Thought the mild spell would bring more moths than it has but non-the-less there has been a good diversity. 7 moths in total has been the best nights catch. Species have included one addition to my site list Acleris hastiana, others:- Plutella xylostella, Acleris ferrugana, Pale Brindled Beauty, Early Moth, Mottled Umber, Chestnut, Dark Chestnut and Angle Shades. Brief colder spell due now then hopefully warm up again.
As others have reported the Winter Moth seems to be over. I have also been getting a lot of Dor Beetle and Great Diving Beetle.
