Wednesday night mothing

After the previous night's extravaganza, I was relatively pleased to discover the temperature had been cooler during the night, consequently not so much moth activity. However, a small blood vein and single dot wave were new for the year, taking the year lister total to 130 macro moth species. Still some 20% below last years, but, courtesy of the warmer weather, a good haul of 28 year listers since Monday has meant a catch up on last year's total. However, it must be noted that some moths just didn't appear in spring and it will be interesting to see if they reappear next year in any numbers.
