Coldest night for August

Can't have been more than 4C last night so I was in no hurry to visit the trap. However, after sifting through the few regulars, square spot rustic, setaceous hebrew character, silver y and yellow underwings I discovered an new moth for me. I suspect a Webb's Wainscot, an uncommon moth for Hertfordshire. Photos here, which have been forwarded to the county recorder for verification. Up to 2006 17 records for this moth that requires reedmace as its larval foodplant. First found in Herts in Bishop's Stortford in 1994.
