An early morning at Wigston Magna, Leicestershire - May 24, 2017

The moth trap was out again last night and I trapped and identified thirty-two moths covering seventeen species, twelve of which were new for the year and one new for the garden, Waved Umber.  This takes the total moths trapped so far, this year to seventy-six covering twenty-five species.


The following were recorded: Common Swift [1]; Twenty-plume Moth [1]; Light Brown Apple Moth [11]; Pseudargrotoza conwagana [1]; Bud Moth [2]; Rush Veneer [1]; Chinese Character [1]; Figure of Eighty [1]; Green Carpet [1]; Common Pug [1]; Mottled Pug [1]; Brimstone Moth [3]; Waved Umber [1]; Puss Moth [1]; Buff Ermine [1]; The Lychnis [1] an Shuttle-shaped dart [4].
