A visit to the moth trap after midnight last night and I wasn't too expectant as the temperauture had dropped. However, a stunning Oak Beauty was roosting on the white sheet adjacent to the light trap. A large and amazingly marked moth: 2 photos here. Also, another small brindled beauty showing the diagnostic yellow antennae and 2 photos of the rather unexciting, both in name and colouring, Early moth. Both oak beauty and early moth are first records for the garden.
