The moths are back.

After a total blank last weekend, I actually caught some moths last night. Only six of them, but clearly the slightly warmer night was enough to encourage them onto the wing.

The highlight was my first Merveille du Jour since 2018. 

Merveille du Jour

A very pretty moth and well named for a change. It is indeed a marvel of the day (apologies for any mistranslation).

The second new one for the year was a Barred Sallow, also no slouch in looks.

For the record, the others were Common Marbled Carpet, Shuttle-shaped Dart, Light Brown Apple Moth, and Ruddy Streak.
