Had the Robsinson in the back garden last night, it caught me 235 moths of 39 species.
Two new for the gardens, which where...
My favourite - an Old Lady
It was HUGE!
The rarest - a Ruddy Carpet, a south coast special
The rest of the catch was made up of: 58 Large Yellow Underwing, 40 Willow Beauty, 24 Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing, 17 Flame Shoulder, 12 Uncertain, 8 Dingy Footman, 6 Rustic, 5 Riband Wave, 5 Shuttle-shaped Dart, 5 Double-striped Pug, 4 Silver Y, 4 Brimstone, 4 Garden Carpet, 4 Common/Lesser Rustic, 3 Straw Dot, 3 Flame Carpet, 3 Setaceous Hebrew Character, 3 Square-spot Rustic, 2 Yellow-barred Brindle, 2 Spectacle, 2 Bright-line Brown-eye, 2 Smoky Wainscot, 2 Jersey Tiger, and singles of: Lesser Swallow Prominent, Marbled Beauty, Buff Ermine, Knot Grass, Cabbage Moth, Heart and Dart Small Waved Umber, Small Fan-footed Wave, Single-dotted Wave, Nut-tree Tussock, Rosy Footman, Dark Arches and Sallow Kitten.
The last moth in that list was a much smarter individual than my first one...
Quality moth!
