I too had a likely second generation ark Arches - on morning of 16 November. never had one so late before . Is global warming making Cheshire a part of the south ? ( Coming from Lancashire we always thought of Cheshire as in the south :D )

How do you differentiate Northern Winter Moth from Winter Moth please ?
