Garden Moths – 100 species and counting

The recent large catch in my moth-trap has put us over the 100 species mark for moths recorded in the garden. Not bad in just over half a year, with much of that being winter.

It was quite nice that there was a Gold Spot in the catch too which is one of my favourite moths so far. Here it is in all its glory.
