An early morning in Wigston Magna, Leicestershire - September 17, 2018

The following were recorded: Ermine species [1]; White-shouldered House-moth [2]; Gold Triangle [1]; Agriphila geniculea [2]; Small Dusty Wave [2]; Small Blood-vein [3]; Garden Carpet [1]; Brimstone Moth [2]; Dusky Thorn [1]; Willow Beauty [3]; The Snout [1]; Ruby Tiger [1]; Burnished Brass [1]; Copper Underwing [1]; Mottled Rustic [1]; Vine’s Rustic [3]; Barred Sallow [1]; The Sallow [1]; Beaded Chestnut [1]; Lunar Underwing [2]; Common Wainscot [3]; Shuttle-shaped Dart [2]; Large Yellow Underwing [36]; Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing [3]; Lesser Yellow Underwing [28]; and Setaceous Hebrew Character [4].
