Busy in Thrupp

Much abundance here in Thrupp, Oxon, on the last and lovely warm night of March. Three newcomers for my Robinson trap this year were the Early Thorn and Brindled Pug, above, as well as my first Pine Beauty of 2014.

The tally overall was 92 moths plus two caddis flies: 38 Common Quaker, 18 Clouded Drab, 12 Hebrew Character, 12 Small Quaker, four Early Grey, two March Moth, two Oak Beauty, two Brindled Pug, one Early Thorn, one Pine Beauty, one Red Chestnut, one Emmelina monodactyla and one small and grubby micro which I am working on.  Martin Wainwright.
