Moths Return

With blank nights here since the 15th due to that cold snap, it was nice to see some moths in the garden again last night.  The four below had arrived by 10pm but there were no subsequent additions.

Winter Moth can sometimes go on into early February but I haven't seen one that late since 2017.  The trend actually seems to be in the other direction with fewer being seen in the New Year, especially in the garden here.  Pale Brindled Beauty and Mottled Umber should be around for a while yet.
