Moths Hotting Up

Despite the temperatures dropping to 1.1ºC last night we still had quite a few moths to contend with. Many of them were on the pergola rather than in the trap, but there were a few unfamiliar ones to me so it took a bit of effort to identify them all.

The catch comprised of:

  • Shoulder Stripe x 16
  • Dotted Border x 3
  • Pale Brindled Beauty x 1*
  • Mottled Grey x2
  • Early Grey x1*
  • Chestnut x1

It looks as though things are hotting up and I’m going to be busy identifying and counting moths throughout the summer.
