An early morning in Wigston Magna, Leicestershire - August 11, 2017

I put the trap out last night, which was the first time since I returned from my Alaskan cruise.  There were sixty-eight moths covering twenty species three of which were new for the year, with one new for the garden.


The following were recorded: Ermine species [1]; Ypsolopha scabrella [1]; Blastobasis adustella [6]; Emmelina monodactyla [1]; Light Brown Apple Moth [6]; Agriphila tristella [3]; Agriphila straminella [12]; Common carpet [1]; Double-striped Pug [1]; Brimstone Moth [5]; Willow Beauty [9]; Straw Dot [1]; The Spectacle [2]; Mouse Moth [2]; Marbled Beauty [3]; Common Rustic species [1]; Shuttle-shaped Dart [1]; Large Yellow Underwing [8]; Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing [2] and Setaceous Hebrew Character.
