An early morning at Wigston Magna, Leicestershire - June 12, 2015

With the weather forecast being more favourable I put the moth trap out last night and caught thirty-six moths covering sixteen species, which was a big improvement.


The following were recorded: Light Brown Apple Moth [10]; Bee Moth [1]; Common Carpet [1]; Scalloped Hazel [1]; Privet Hawkmoth [1]; Buff-tip [1]; White Ermine [1]; Buff Ermine [1]; Heart and Dart [5]; Falme Shoulder [2]; Small Square-spot [5]; Nutmeg [3]; Dagger Sp. [1]; Angle Shades [1]; Vine’s Rustic [1] and Straw Dot [1].
