Mothing in Newton Harcourt, Leicestershire - June 10, 2012


This was a visit to Dave’s as he had set his moth trap last night.  There were only thirteen moths in the trap, which was probably due to the cold.  There were four Common Swift, one Udea prunalis, two Brimstone Moths, a Peppered Moth, a Buff Ermine, a Rustic Shouldered-knot and three Silver Y.  The Common Swift and Udea prunalis but were both new to both of us.
