New moths for the year

A warmer, if damp night, brought a small flurry of moths to the trap. A lesser swallow prominent and dagger species were new for the year. Also, another early grey (now rather late) and an, as yet, unidentified pug species.
Planning on a few hours out tomorrow night in local woods with head torch and net, hoping for good temperatures and cloud cover.

dagger species: rather dark or grey. Need dissection to fully identify, or find pupa.
