A new moth in the form of a dusky thorn was in the trap this morning. Unlike many of the thorn species, this one hung around for a few photos. Also of note, an immaculate burnished brass along with the micro acleris variegena Garden rose tortrix. In all over 40 moths in the trap mad eup of 18 species, with 11 large yellow underwings.
