Moth Round Up

Many regular moths most mornings at present, with large yellow underwing, lesser yellow underwing, square spot rustic and setaceous hebrew character often into double figures. 18 square spot rustics on the 12th was a recent high mark.
However, several less regular visitors over the last few days, with a frosted orange being macro number 188 for the year. Latticed heath in small numbers and this morning, a 2nd generation willow beauty and small dusty wave as well as the migrant Plutella xylostella (diamond back moth.) Other micros have been a few Acleris variegana and Pleuropyta ruralis.
