After about three years of intensive trapping, catching new species is becoming more and more difficult. Though last night I caught my second new macro moth of the year. I suppose it was inevitable that I would eventually get one of these-
Dotted Chestnut
It's another scalp for the humble 15w BLB bulb on the shed at the bottom of the garden.
Twin-spotted Quaker
This time the 'spotless' form.
435 Zelleria hepariella
663 Diurnea fagella
649 Esperia Sulphurella
