I have been moth-trapping in my garden in Huntingdonshire, VC31 since 2003 and by 2017 had recorded over 830 species - the complete list can be seen on the Earith Moth List link below. The garden backs onto the Ouse Washes and is just yards from the Old Bedford River so whilst there is little woodland locally, I attract a wide range of species.

The melanic form of Dog's Tooth is frequent in the trap here but this one at first looked more like an aberrant Bright-line Brown-eye. In the hand this moth had a rich, oily sheen which isn't apparent in the picture.
