Moth Trap – 11th September 2023

I ran a garden moth trap overnight on 10th September. Several new species for the garden were Box Tree Moth and White-point, also my second garden record of Orange Sallow. Totals were 123 moths of 36 species. Other notables were Silver Y (3); Dusky Thorn (2); Centre-barred Sallow (2); Vine’s Rustic (4); Lesser Wax Moth (1); Pale Mottled Willow (2):

White-point – differing light conditions affecting the ground colour.
