Moth Trapping

Thats better! At last some moths (proper ones) in the trap this morning.

Pale Brindled Beauty 1



Common Quaker 1 (above)



Hebrew Character 1 (above)



Chestnut 3 ( above - these two show the normal and darker forms caught together. The dark one shows a worn trailing edge that could make it look like a Dark Chestnut soon)

March Moth 1

7 moths of 5 species. Unfortunately the March Moth flew off before I could deploy the camera...3 new species for the year list.

Dean I hope so. Clouded Drab, yes, but last year I took an Early Grey from the Spar and it was a first for VC68!
