A few of my December moths hadn’t got perfect wings either, suggesting that they had emerged in less than ideal conditions.
Never had Sprawler here at IGC in 19 years of trapping.

Certainly makes a difference trapping where there are more trees – I had 9sp, including my first December moths (16) and Scarce umbers (3) for the year. No Winter moth here or Northern winter moth either, a species I normally get at this time of year. A few November moths still to check for the other 2 species.
Trap on again in the garden tonight for a few hours.

Also an impressive 11 December Moths.
