Moth News

A few moths have now come to the garden light trap this year; 3 to be precise! Firstly an Early moth on 14.02.14 followed a week later by a Common Quaker and then this morning, a splendid Oak Beauty. The latter was, indeed a surprise as it was very cold, but cloud cover after midnight meant it warmed up somewhat. As usual with oak beauties, they prefer to roost on the actual trap rather than in amongst the egg boxes. Always a good moth to find.
