210 was the number of macro moths taken in 2014. A superb Merveille du Jour this morning was my 204th for the year. Not a lot else: 2 setaceous hebrew characters, large yellow underwing and an Acleris variegana.
This is my earliest M du J taken, with the last 3 year's being after 22nd October and last year it was the 2nd week of November before one appeared. Always a super moth to see. Disappointingly, as can be seen from the photos, it is very worn on the left wing, but still worthy of a few photographs.
