An early morning moth trapping in Wigston Magna, Leicestershire - May 25, 2014

Put the moth trap out last night but only caught twelve moths of ten species, perhaps not too surprising considering the recent weather and it was rather cold.

There were no new moths but three were new for the year: Mottled Pug, Buff-tip and Large Yellow Underwing.


The following were trapped: Light Brown Apple Moth [1]; Mottled Pug [1]; Brimstone Moth [3]; Peppered Moth [1]; Lime Hawkmoth [1]; Buff-tip [1]; Buff Ermine [1]; Large Yellow Underwing [1]; Rustic Shoulder-knot [1] and The Spectacle [1].
