Despite the cold last night, a nice selection of moths including my first Chocolate Tip, Muslin and Brimstone for the year. Unfortunately I also caught Acrolepiopsis assectella, more commonly known as Leek Moth. We have only just started growing leeks again as we lost them to this pest a few years back. Obviously this species has a good sense of smell as our leeks are only just showing in the pots.

A walk on Barrington Hill near Curland yesterday produced Diamond Back Moth and Cydia ulicetana, both on Gorse.
