Increased moth Activity

A super night  mothing last night. Firstly, having set up the garden trap, I went out for a wander at 10.30pm with net and bright head torch, netting several common species such as green carpet, silver ground carpet, chinese character and rustic shoulder-knot. Returning to the garden at 11.30, it was clear I was in for a busy session with plenty of activity in and around the 125 watt lamp.
This morning, I was up early to check the contents and the results were by far and away the best so far this year.

Also in the trap was this magnificently names bug of the hemiptera  order Dryophilocoris flavoquadrimaculatus !! At about 6mm in length it's name is far longer than the creature itself.

Finally, as I was checking the trap, I left the patio door open and, upon returning, found a great tit perched on my birdwatching scope in the lounge!!
