At last some moths! , 65 moths of 11 species to the trap last night, including Yellow Horned and Brindled Pug.
It helps that I've got a male sallow in flower in the front garden!
[Edit] Thanks for Dave Wilton for putting me right on these, two Acleris ferrugana/notana which will need dissection to confirm. (As usual at this time of year, I've forgotten almost everything I ever know about moths!.)

Hi Neil,
ReplyDeleteSorry, but those are both Acleris ferrugana/notana (probably the former but dissection is required to separate the two). Glad you are getting some moths. My total last night was only 33 moths of 9 species but I don't yet have the benefit of flowering sallow (won't be long though) and there's been a sudden and noticeable increase in bat activity around the light here!
