Although rather damp, but because it was distinctly warmer I decided to run the actinic light my usual lazy winter way last night (inside the conservatory and recording what comes to the windows). Ten moths put in an appearance:
Blastobasis lacticolella (1),
Emmelina monodactyla (1), December Moth (3), Red-green Carpet (1), Winter Moth (2), Feathered Thorn (1) & Mottled Umber (1). One of the Decembers was a female and when I photographed her this morning she wouldn't stop laying eggs. I'll probably keep them safe until the caterpillars emerge in the spring and then release them locally.
