Our trap was set for the first time this year on Friday evening: 29th August. Fifty seven moths of twenty species were recorded.
Light-brown Apple moth 3 Brown China-mark 1 Bloodvein 2 Common Marbled Carpet 1 Coxcomb Prominent 1 Large Yellow Underwing 23 Lesser Yellow Underwing 3 Lesser broad-bordered Y U 2 Small Square-spot 1 Square-spot Rustic 7 Brown-spot Pinion 1 Copper Underwing 3 Mouse Moth 1 Old Lady 1 Angleshades 1 Common Rustic 1 Flounced Rustic 1 Rosy Rustic 1 Gold Spot 1 Straw Dot 1 Brown-spot Pinion is essentially an Autumnal moth, a lovely one to see but a sad reminder that our Summer is nearly over.
Old Lady is one of Britain's largest moths, dull brown but beautifully marked. Ours was a very worn specimen, unfortunately.
