An early morning in Wigston Magna, Leicestershire - September 27, 2018


I put the moth trap out last night and trapped and identified just thirty-nine moths covering twelve species.  Red-line Quaker was new for the garden and Blair’s Shoulder-knot new for the year and a Foxglove Plug was a real surprise.

The following were recorded: Light Brown Apple Moth [2]; Garden Carpet [1]; Common Marbled Carpet [1]; Foxglove Pug [1]; Brimstone Moth [1]; Silver y [1]; Barred Sallow [2]; Red-line Quaker [1]; Lunar Underwing [10]; Blair’s Shoulder-knot [1]; Large Yellow Underwing [8]; and Lesser Yellow Underwing [10].
