Caught this morning: is this Water Carpet? Overall a brown moth with slightly shiny wings (though worn). I see that is a common species for many of you but I've never seen it in 20 years of garden trapping. Thanks for the confirmation if it is.

Re: Water Carpet?
I'd certainly say so Andrew.

Re: Water Carpet?
Thank you Julian.
I'm only getting one or two moths per night (with three traps) at the moment, so it's nice to get something new!

Re: Water Carpet?
Yes - it is dire at the moment! Like you I run 3 traps, with just one moth in each trap last night. Brown Silver-line NFY, but they're generally thick on the ground here. Things will hopefully explode in the next week or so.
