A second run out for the MV trap this year produced most of the usual suspects with pride of place going to a very smart Oak Beauty, just the third garden record.

Early March 2009

The first interesting moth of the month was on the 6th when one of the four Dotted Borders in and around the trap was the all dark form ab.fuscata.


This is the more usual form:



The following night (7th) the second garden record for Oak Beauty was in the trap


On the 12th one of my favourite moths arrived - The Herald. This one was particularly active and was awkward to photograph, it eventually settled on my desk.
