An early morning moth trapping in Wigston Magna, Leicestershire - May 18, 2014

I had put the moth trap out again last night and caught and identified thirty-four moths comprising of sixteen species.  Broken-barred Carpet and Pale-shouldered Brocade were both new species for me.


The species caught were: Light Brown Apple Moth [5]; Garden Carpet [1]; Common Carpet [1]; Broken-barred Carpet [1]; Green Carpet [1]; Foxglove Pug [1]; Brindled Pug [2]; Brimstone Moth [10]; Scalloped Hazel [1]; Peppered Moth [1]; Poplar Hawkmoth [1]; Pale Tussock [1]; Shuttle-shaped Dart [1]; Small Square Spot [1]; Pale-shouldered Brocade [1] and Angle Shades [2].
