Cydalima perspectalis and some late flyers

Is anyone else getting big numbers of the Box Tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis?  From just one in 2016, the first I had seen, and ten in 2017, I have had 74 here so far this year, including 20 last night.

Also a Least Carpet and perhaps more surprisingly, a very late-flying Single-dotted Wave, both in excellent condition.

    Hi Richard

    On a smaller scale, they are increasing in my area of Marlow Bottom too. My first was in 2017, I have had several singles since then , then my first multiple count of 2 at the beginning of this month and 7 last night.
