14th August 2013

A warm night after several rather chilly ones saw good numbers of moths despite a stiff breeze and heavy rain just after dawn. At last I can add Pale-shouldered Brocade to the garden list along with the tiny micro Phyllocnistis saligna - just the 4th county record for this one, I believe. Pretty well the last moth out of the MV trap turned out to be just the second garden record of Dark Spectacle.
