HI Heather and Les,

Light Knot Grass it is. When did you catch it ?
Usual flight time late May - mid July.

Regards
Greg

Hi Greg
Yes, we wondered about the date as it was August 14/15 - last Fri/Sat night - still on two cameras.

Maybe a second brood individual, although I've not heard of any second brood Light Knot Grass before. I did have a fresh Buff Ermine at Wildboarclough the same night which I'm assuming was also a second brood individual.

It certainly looked nice and fresh and was outside the trap on the shed wall.
Thanks Steve
