An early morning at Wigston Magna, Leicestershire - May 27, 2017

There were thirty-one moths in the trap this morning covering fourteen species, one of which was a lifer and another three year-ticks.  The lifer was The Rivulet, which is very like Small Rivulet but noticeably larger.


The following were recorded: Brown House Moth [1]; Light Brown Apple Moth [11]; Bud Moth [1]; Small Magpie [1]; Garden Carpet [3]; Green Carpet [1]; The Rivulet [1]; Brimstone Moth [1]; The Spectacle [1]; Bright-line Brown-eye [1]; The Lychnis [1]; Heart and Dart [6]; Flame Shoulder [1] and Small Square Spot [1].
