An early morning in Wigston Magna, Leicestershire - September 26, 2016

There were just twenty-four moths trapped and identified last night covering just seven species but two of those were new for the year.  This takes my annual garden total to 229, with 5451 moths trapped and identified to date, which is better than last year after what was a slow start.


The following were recorded: Light Brown Apple Moth [1]; Garden Rose Tortrix [1]; Red-green Carpet [1]; Barred Sallow [1]; Lunar Underwing [16]; Blair’s Shoulder-knot [1] and Large Yellow Underwing [3].
