Best moth night of 2012

Over 50 moths of 29 species, plus several new micromoths in the trap last night. No new macros for the garden list but 3 new for the year. Common marbled carpet, snout and riband wave all new. The latter I shall probably trap most nights for the next few months, the other 2 less so. Took over an hour to sort them out early this morning. Photos here of snout, (photos 1 and 2, a close up) common marbled carpet, clouded brindle (a darker form than usual,) a beautiful hooktip and a new micro: Phtheochroa rugosana
