Sunny and frosty

Thanks to Andrew, I had no problem identifying a new moth for the year in this morning's trap: this Frosted Green. This first came to me in May 2016 and has been a regular caller in subsequent Springs but I need the reminder as to what it was.

An interesting feature of last night's arrivals was how many chose to stay outside the trap and perch instead on a nearby window and wall:

I was also interested to note at 6.30pm that three Brindled Beauties and one Streamer  (off camera below) were exactly as I had left them on the wall 12 hours earlier. It's a quiet life, being a moth! Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon
