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.

I've caught Endothenia ericetana here on several occasions but have never seen one as nicely marked as this one:
Finally, this Marbled Beauty looks so different to the normal form it took me some time to work out its true identity:
