Re: An excellent Night
I’ve just started to get the large numbers of Tachystola acroxantha that I’ve seen in your reports, Mel. I’ve had 20+ counts twice in October now, previously half a dozen or so was the most. Seems to be doing very well in our neck of the woods!

Hi Paul,
Tachystola acroxantha is by far my most common micro in the garden and in some years my second most common moth recorded. Beaten only by everyone's favourite Large Yellow Underwing.
