Even Better night.

Post by Greg »

Morning All

A mild, calm night brought in a decent amount of moths to the garden last night, including NFY December Moth.

32 of 19 species.
1 Garden Rose Tortrix
2 Light Brown Apple Moths
1 Hypsopygia glaucinalis
1 Spruce Carpet
5 Red-green Carpets
1 Common Marbled Carpet
5 November Moth aggs
1 Straw Dot
1 Snout
1 Blair's Shoulder Knot
1 Green Brindled Crescent
2 Shuttle-shaped Darts
1 Brimstone
1 Merveille du Jour
1 Pink Barred Sallow
2 Barred Sallows
3 Large Yellow Underwings
2 Red-line Quakers
1 December Moth NFY.

Not bad for mid October.

74 moths of 21 species last night, included 9 Feathered Thorn, a total I've reached only twice before, in 2011 & 2012. Also 10 Red-line Quaker, which I've reached in 2010 but surpassed once in 2009, when 11 were in the trap one morning.
