Ceredigion Moths – Business as Usual
Lesser Yellow Underwing
Nothing too exciting in the moth trap last night. A reappearance of the Dark-barred and Red Twin-spot Carpets, both of which have two flight periods. An early one in mid April-June and a later in late July-August. I haven’t seen these for a while but we had both again last night.
Otherwise it was pretty much business as usual with a similar catch to the past few attempts. There was one new species though, a Lesser Yellow Underwing.
