Another Late One

A surprise visitor to the garden actinic in last night's rain was this Garden Carpet.  It looks very tired so may simply be a hanger-on from the third generation but it is my first November record for the species.

Garden Carpet, Westcott 6th November

Despite the wind and rain there was still a decent collection of moths last night, the remainder of the catch being Plutella xylostella (1), Blastobasis lacticolella (1), Red-green Carpet (1), November Moth sp (4), Winter Moth (2), Feathered Thorn (14), Large Yellow Underwing (1), Setaceous Hebrew Character (2), White-point (2), Black Rustic (6), Sprawler (20), Green-brindled Crescent (2), Merveille du Jour (1) & Yellow-line Quaker (1).  No Brick!
