An early morning in Wigston Magna, Leicestershire - April 21, 2018


There were just thirteen moths trapped and identified last night with a fourteenth yet to be identified, covering eight species.  One, Pine beauty, was not only new for the year but also a lifer, which made putting the trap out worthwhile.

The following were recorded: Light Brown Apple Moth [1]; Double-striped Pug [1]; Early Thorn [1]; Early Grey [1]; Pine Beauty [1]; Common Quaker [4] and Hebrew Character [4].
