New moth 3.9.11

centre barred sallow

light emerald

A new moth was found inside the trap this morning: a centre barred sallow. After what promised to be a really good moth night, with the temperature above 14C at midnight, the clouds lifted and the temperature dropped. However, 3 sallows were found, along with this newly emerged light emerald as well as the usual suspects. These included 6 striped rustics, large and lesser broad bordered yellow underwing, latticed heath, emmelina monodactyla, catriopa pinella and common wainscot. Most of these species counting into double figures.
