There's finally been some warm evenings, 86 species of moth yesterday of over 250 individuals and also been some nice new for years. Moth year list now on 388.
Here's some of the more photogenic ones below.
Had Yellow Wagtail going over yesterday evening, the odd Swift is still about too.
Red Underwing - one of three today, most I've had here before
Old Lady (above and below)- an NFY
Poplar Hawkmoth- also had the first adult Elephant Hawkmoth in a while this morning (there was a caterpillar a couple of days ago)
The other two Red Underwings - as is often the case I see Red Underwings on the house rather than in the moth trap
Brown-line Bright-eye, another new for year
Chequered Fruit Tree Tortrix- NFY
White-foot Bell- NFY
Small Blood Vein- NFY
Diamond-back Marble
Barred Marble, Celypha Splendana- NFY
Small Scallop
Herald- NFY
Bordered Beauty- NFY
Closest I can get to this is Brown Rowan Agent, Argyresthia semifusca?
Brown Argus on the Lavender - been a few more butterflies and other insects about in the warmer weather
Tree Damsel Bug- a new species for the Old Vic
