We are the midst of another moth migration wave (it really has been an exceptional year) and last night was pretty fantastic with the first Golden Twin-spot for the garden and the second Ni-moth with supporting cast including Old World Webworm, 2 Dewick's Plusia, Silver-Y, Southern Bell, Four-spotted Footman, 5 Rush Veneer, 6 Rusty-dot, 3 Portland Ribbon Wave, Diamond-back and Saltmarsh Knothorn.
As usual all UK moth migration news, discussions and predictions on the excellent Migrant Lepidoptera Facebook Group HERE. Always indebted to this group for tip offs and encouragement to target effort on specific nights.
Golden Twin-spot
Ni-moth
Silver-Y
Dewick's Plusia
and one of several Burnished Brass to add to the Plusia collection
Old World Webworm
Saltmarsh Knot-horn
Obsidentify says this is Scarce Knot-horn, A.tumidana rather than A.repandana but I can't see the raised scales but presumably they could be worn. Will see what the CMR team say.
Really cool to get these two together
