Square-spot Rustic


This Square-spot Rustic was the biggest surprise from the last couple of nights trapping. It's at least 2 months earlier than it should be! Odd things sometimes happen in the world of mothing. Quite a few species trapped but nothing out of the ordinary. Don't think I've ever caught 7 Eyed hawk-moths in a night!


A pair of Reed Buntings is still frequenting the small reedbed at West Lodge and a Reed Warbler is still singing from there.

Broken-barred Carpet.


Common Tubic Alabonia geoffrella. See lots of these in hedges but can't remember trapping one.

Beautiful Hook-tip.


 Large Ivy Tortrix Lozotaenia forsterana. Day-roosting along Halsdon Avenue.


Green Oak Tortrix. Only two of these but every one is appreciated.


Cream-bordered Green Pea.


Clouded Brindle.


Portland Ribbon Wave.


Treble Brown Spot. Lots of these coming to light at the moment.


YLG - 12/6.


Ivy Broomrape - Madeira Walk.


White Plume Moth.


Brown China-mark.
