Yellow Horned

Two Yellow Horned arrived in my garden moth trap last night. I know Dave Wilton regularly records them on his forays into the woods, but this is the first time I have recorded one in my garden.



The other catches last night were Oak Beauty (1), Hebrew Character (10), Common Quaker (4), Clouded Drab (1), Pale Pinion (1) and Twin-spotted Quaker (1).
Here is the Twin-spotted Quaker -

  1. That's a good record, Steve, because Yellow Horned certainly seems to keep mostly to woodland. I've not yet had the moth here at Westcott despite it being present in most of the local woods and I've even got four birches available in the garden, yet its close woodland relative Frosted Green (which should be about in a week or two) does appear here occasionally and there's only one smallish oak anywhere close by!
