Moth Trap – 10th October 2023

I ran a garden moth trap overnight on 9th October 2023. Highlight was a Clifden Nonpareil, a new moth species for me and obviously a new one for the garden. It’s been a good year for this species in Derbyshire. Other notables were a Green Brindled Crescent, a Yellow-lined Quaker, 14 Box Tree Moth, 3 Black Rustic, a Barred Sallow and a Wax Moth. Totals were 35 moths of 15 species.
