More moths

After Selborne and a decent(ish) catch at home on the hottest day, the number and variety of moths has fallen off a cliff.

New moths recently were Gold Spot,  Early Thorn, Canary-shouldered Thorn, Four-spotted Footman and White Point. Seldom caught moths included Lychnis, Cabbage Moth and a second Cream-bordered Green Pea.

Most days have seen one to five Jersey Tigers, one or two Garden Tiger and a few more Tree Lichen Beauty.

Elsewhere the only 'kicked up' moths away from home have been Dingy Footman and a Silver Y.
