An early morning in Wigston Magna, Leicestershire - May 15, 2018


I put the moth trap out last night and I tapped and identified eighteen moths covering twelve species, ten of which were new for the year and one of which, Oak Hook-tip was new for the garden.

The following were recorded: Bee Moth [2]; Oak Hook-tip [1]; Double-striped Pug [2]; Bridled Pug [1]; The Seraphim [1]; Yellow-barred Brindle [1]; Brimstone Moth [1]; White Ermine [1]; Muslim Moth [1]; The Spectacle [1]; Shuttle-shaped Dart [5] and Flame Shoulder [1].
