First new moths for October 05.10.11

A feathered thorn was found in the trap this morning, in amongst a good variety of moths. The feathered thorn is a common Hertfordshire moth, flying throughout the autumn and will certainly appear in the trap again. Another new one for the garden was a spruce carpet, again a common autumnal moth.Other species included: sallow, barred sallow, lesser yellow underwing, large yellow underwing, brimstone moth, lunar underwing and large ranunclus.
