Late summer moth trap

We've hardly been able to trap at all this year as the weather has been so unreliable, or life has got in the way but the night of the 24th / 25th proved to be a good one! The highlight was a new species for us - the 'anomalous'. We had 37 species and the largest number went to the common rustic, followed by the yellow underwing, the common rustic and antler moths.

LH column: dark arches, antler moth, sallow, canary shouldered thorn; middle column: centre barred sallow, angle shades, silver y, early thorn, satellite and RH column: chinese character, common rustic, rosy rustic, gold spot and anomalous.

Canary shouldered thorn and angles shades.
