A Quick Moth Count
That didn’t take too long – I was half expecting this mornings moth count to be a long and difficult one but there were far fewer moths in the trap than I was expecting. Just 44 moths from 13 different species, with nothing new for us and nothing too difficult to ID either. Here’s the list.
- 1 x Common Carpet
- 3 x Common Rustic / Lesser Common Rustic agg.
- 7 x Scarce Footman
- 14 x Smoky Wainscot
- 1 x Rosy Minor
- 2 x July Highflyer
- 2 x Large Yellow Underwing
- 7 x Dark Arches
- 1 x Antler Moth
- 1 x Yellow-tail
- 2 x Bright-line Brown-eye
- 1 x Willow Beauty
- 2 x White-line Dart
Here’s the White-line Dart.
