I have recently bought a skinner moth trap and am now beginning to work out a few of the moths that come to the light every evening. A fascinating look into the nocturnal world of my garden.
from the top:
  • beautiful hooktip
  • brimstone
  • brown rustic
  • buff ermine
  • buff tip
  • clouded silver
  • common carpet
  • common white wave
  • common swift
  • flame shoulder
  • green silver lines
  • heart and dart
  • large nutmeg
  • light emerald
  • pale tussock
  • peppered moth
  • pine hawkmoth
  • privet hawk moth
  • scorched wing
  • setaceous hebrew character
  • silver ground carpet
  • small fan foot
  • spectacle
  • nutmeg
  • the fan foot
  • the flame
  • udea olivalis
  • vines rustic
  • white ermine
  • willow beauty.
Still about 20 species as yet, unidentified. Think the above are correct, but if anyobne knows that I have made a mistake, please let me know.
