Another catch in teh neighbours garden - and another couple of new species for me. Today's delights weren'y rare, but they were species I've been looking forward to catching.

A nice wee catch in the neighbours garden - following on from some rough winds which much have seen the end of many a moth in the area.

Pugs spp - whilst looking similar to the pug above, this beast is 50% bigger. I've tentatively claimed it as Scottish race of Freyer's Pug (ie. Edinburgh Pug)![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg87twvP0DFIwnGqMDsbf_gjrCt7mr_RsoouwLYX5uT8AcQFQ3kFbRc-XRZcIaHh3tH7AZ2IAPy0s0rbiAA8vOBw85UIg6k5LuuzassLapI5FBl_5U6_5PXWDwvyfeRWoMbL4l7pPSHVho/s320/1827+Freyer%2527s+Pug+ssp+Edinburgh+Pug.JPG)

A good catch last night, including two new species for me - first of which here, the Scorched Wing, as an all time 'wanted' species (and which eluded me last year!)...

Last night's catch was going down in history as one of the more boring events, so was pleased to find this Buttoned Snout lurking in the egg boxes. A new species for me, ID was challenging owing to the lack of a snout...

Not such a good catch as recently, but one gem that made up for things...
