An early morning at Newton Harcourt, Leicestershire - June 19, 2013

Dave had his mot trap out last night and caught twenty-eight moths of eighteen species.  This was by far the best night we have had this year and included a Scorched Wing that was a new moth for both of us.


The following were trapped: Straw Dot [1]; Bee Moth [1]; Silver-ground Carpet [1]; Green Carpet [4]; Foxglove Pug [2]; Mottled Pug [1]; Common Pug [1]; Scorched Wing [3]; Scalloped Hazel [1]; Popular Hawkmoth [1]; Buff Ermine [2]; Heart and Dart [2]; Bright-line Brown-eye [1]; Brown Rustic [2]; Middle-barred Minor [1]; Burnished Brass [1]; Beautiful Golden Y [2] and Snout [1].
