A few moths here too.

Thank you for the post Neil. Has anyone else anything interesting to report?

I’ve had a few moths. More Merveille du Jour this year than the total in the last 3, quite a lot of Mottled Umber and Feathered Thorn too, but very few Beaded Chestnuts with the Yellow-line Quaker taking over their place in abundance. A few migrants recently, Vestal, Palpita vitrealis, Plutella xylostella, Udea ferrugalis, Nomophila noctuella, Dark Swordgrass, Scarce Bordered Straws, Silver Ys, Gems and a Crocidosema plebejana. The day the rains came up from the south (3rd November) also brought some micros out, two species of Caloptilia, my first dark form of Lyonetia clerkella and an Acleris schalleriana, a first for me. I would be interested to hear of any other A. schalleriana captured in Suffolk since those listed on Moths of Suffolk.
