A nice selection of moths last night. 25 species in total, including Pearly Underwing, Merveille du Jour x2, Delicate, Red-Line Quaker, Mottled Umber, Wax Moth (I was just telling Robin Clatworthy a few weeks ago that I NEVER get this species), Orthopygia glaucinalis, Eudonia angustea, November Moth agg. and a very late Common Rustic agg.

Last night, a quick dash into Dorset meant I finally photographed Pale Lemon Sallow, caught by Paul Harris in Weymouth. The weather this weekend is pretty good for mothing with an approaching low pressure system and lots of cloud. Last night it rained as a sort of thick mist for most of the night which always seems to bring in more micro species.

Paul Chapman in VC 6 has had Feathered Thorn recently and has also had Common Rustic this week.
