Countdown to 210: numbers 205 and 206

Quiet night at the trap, with just 4 moths taken this morning. A 2nd November moth, this time a male so easily identifiable by checking the abdomen, a setaceous hebrew character, 7th night on the trot that at least one of these has appeared and 2 new for year species.
Firstly, a red line quaker and then followed by a grey pine carpet, showing enough to distinguish from the similar spruce carpet. These two take the total macros for the year to 206 species and closer to beating last year's record of 210 species. This should be fairly straight forward now, with brick, pale November moth, December moth, yellow line quaker, chestnut, mottled umber, spruce carpet and maybe a few less common sallow species all being taken between now and December.
Present total for all moths taken this year now stands at 5714.
