Overnight conditions were clear but the air temperature dropped and it was quite a chilly night. This certainly had an impact on the number of moths trapped and it was disappointing when I opened the trap this morning. Having said that, I did get a garden tick and a new photo for the website – Currant Pug, as well as a local species, the Yellow-barred Brindle.
Light-brown Apple Moth – Epiphyas postvittana 1; Brimstone Moth 2; Common Marbled Carpet 4 (4 different colour forms); Garden Carpet; Yellow-barred Brindle 1; Rustic Shoulder-knot 1; Currant Pug 1; Cock Chaffer 1:
