An early morning at Wigston Magna, Leicestershire - October 11, 2015

I put the moth trap out last night and trapped and identified fifteen moths covering ten species, two of which, Red-green Carpet and Barred Sallow were new for the garden.


The following were recorded: Light Brown Apple Moth [2]; Garden Rose Tortrix [2]; Red-green Carpet [1]; Silver Y [1]; Barred Sallow [1]; Blair’s Shoulder Knot [1]; Large Yellow Underwing [2]; Lesser Yellow Underwing [1] and Setaceous Hebrew Character [1].
