It's been ten days since my last moth trapping attempt, for various reasons. So I was pleased to get it out again last night, it was very worthwhile.
I caught 44 moths of 20 species, including three first for the garden. One was this immigrant...
Scarce Bordered Straw
I had two of these....
Red-green Carpet number one
Red-green Carpet number two
And two of these...
November Moth
The rest of the moths were: 8 Common Marbled Carpet, 4 Large Yellow Underwing, 3 Blair's Shoulder-knot, 3 Grey Pine Carpet, 2 Spruce Carpet, 2 Cypress Carpet, 2 Yellow-lined Quaker, 2 Double-striped Pug, 2 L-album Wainscot, 2 Feathered Ranunculus, 2 Angle Shades, 2 Silver Y, and singles of: Dark Sword Grass, Merveille du Jour, Snout, Shuttle-shaped Dart and Black Rustic.
One last photo, one of today's two Cypress Carpet - my second and third for the garden....
Gorgeous thing!
