One Regular NFY
Posted: Sun Oct 20, 2019 10:41 am
It is always good to see the regular moths turning up, as this year I have missed quite a few.
Among the 6 moths of 5 species last night (19/10/2019 - 6.3 deg C min.) was December Moth NFY, my earliest record by 3 days.
Also recorded were Figure of Eight 2, Red-green Carpet, Yellow Line Quaker and Acleris ferrugana/notana. I presume this would be A. ferrugana, as previous records of specimens I have checked from my garden had proved to be this species.
The only positive ID I have of A. notana, is of a male from Scotland in April 2016, which was recorded at sugar and determined by dissection.
