Moth news

Despite putting my trap out, in the garden, every Friday this winter as part of the Winter Garden Moth Survey I have not managed to catch a single moth since before Christmas.

It is therefore somewhat ironic that, on entering the garden this morning to top up the feeders, I noticed that a spider beneath our kitchen window had been rather more successful.

Chestnut - deceased
Presumably this unfortunate moth was attracted to the kitchen lights some time since Saturday morning, when it definitely wasn't there.

I believe it is a Chestnut, but it is very worn by the ravages of wind, rain, frost, and spider venom.
