Good night

103 species in the Old Vic moth traps last night (the 125W MV and the LED). A few highlights and ones I found hard to id below.

Lilac Beauty- a lifer and a real beauty too, a male I believe. 
Lackey- a few of these of both sexes (female above)
Triangle-marked Roller, Ancylis achatana 
White Cloaked Shoot Gypsonoma sociana
Gorse Crest Brachmia blandella 
Double Square-spot 
Dark Pine Knot-horn, Dioryctria abietella (above and below; might be a lifer, need to check) 

Dingy Shears 
Swallow-tail Moth- always a treat to see, a few of these last night 
Double-striped Pug- I thought this might be something more interesting but apparently not, presumably just a worn one 
Common White Wave 
Dusky Brocade (first for the Old Vic, only had one of these before at the Beddington obs)
