Whilst since adding to the moth list from the garden trap. New moths recorded recently include: yellow line quaker, dusky lemon sallow and barred sallow, all shown here. Also, plenty of snouts around, a few large yellow underwings, one brimstone and one black rustic. Main moth remains the lunar underwing, with up to 10 in the trap most mornings. Photos added also show the variety that the brown spot pinion can appear, with a selection of brown to chestnut ground colour. The 5 spots on the edge of the wing, remain the diagnostic marke, though.
