Good moth night

A haul of 76 macros this morning gave several new for year and one new for my parish records. Firstly, an oak hooktip was roosting on the sheet last night, fridged and id'd this morning. A new moth for me.
Also this morning, year listers; feathered gothic, double striped pug and iron prominent. Also there were, among the plentiful yellow underwing varieties, a brimstone, old lady, magpie, uncertain, square spot rustic and a fair few setaceous hebrew characters. Many micros, including: mother of pearl, pyrausta aurata, crambus lathoniellus, water veneer, 25+ emmelina monodactyla and crambus pratella.
All in all, in excess of 100 specimens.
