A decent catch last night, despite clear skies and cold temperatures - 190 moths of 16 species and thankfully very few micros....

Best of the bunch were four White-marked. Only a couple of kms from where I was catching several last year (Long Wittenham Wood). |

A few Frosted Greens were a welcome addition to the year's tally. |

This presumed melanic Brindled Pug (f. hirschkei) was interesting. |

Shoulderstripe may not be the rarest moth, but they are pretty smart when you take the time to really look at them!
