Maybe not the rarest of moths, but i was pleased to get my first ever Poplar Kitten here in my Aylesbury garden trap yesterday. A few others caught were:- Lychnis (1), The Shears (1), Flame Shoulder (1), Grey Dagger (1), Small Square-spot (1), Pale Tussock (2 - one was a melanistic specimen), Scalloped Hazel (2), and Mottled Pug (1). Numbers are still low here - maybe suburban gardens don't fair so well these days! Dave Maunder

Did you check the bits to make it a Grey Dagger Dave?
ReplyDeleteI most certainly did; got my hand lens to it and found the two protrusions as shown in Skinner.
ReplyDeleteGood, thought you would
