Another improvement

After another warm night, there was a continued improvement in moth numbers. However, this must be weighed up against last year, where an average haul per night was close to 100 moths. This morning 21 moths of 8 macro species plus 2 micros.
New for the year were common white wave, common marbled carpet, silver ground carpet and small square spot. Others that have featured before were large nutmegs, green carpets, red twin spot carpets and spectacles. The 2 micros were Celypha lacunana and  Agonopterix arenella, both common garden species.
