The moth trap went out last night and produced an excellent count of 150 moths, although the species total was a more modest 36.
Subject to confirmation from JS I encountered six that were new for the garden as follows;
Scarlet Tiger,
Elephant Hawk-moth,
Leopard Moth, Mottled Beauty,
Wormwood Pug, and
Lozotaeniodes formosana. As a post-script another Pug I asked JS to identify for me as I wasn't sure what it was has turned out to be a
Grey Pug, one I had given consideration to. So that's another new one for the house list.
