Couple of Confirmations
Reasonable night last night, I got my first Pebble Prominent and I think a couple of ones I saw when I started trapping last autumn, I think I have a Cabbage Moth and a Light Brown Apple Moth. Can someone confirm? many thanks,
Hi Mark, both IDs are correct. My own sightings of Cabbage Moth have all been between June and September but I recall someone locally seeing one in March this year and the books say it can be found in almost any month. An excellent web-site to check for a clear indication of flight times is Hants Moths (their Cabbage Moth page is at http://www.hantsmoths.org.uk/species/2154.php).
