From last night............

Early Thorn
Pine Beauty

One of the pitfalls of a moth trap - they don't just attract moths!

Another non moth visitor to the moth trap last night ....
A friendly fellow who played dead until I wasn't watching, then kept making a run for it
This is one of the Sexton Beetles

Last night trap was full of mainly Quakers. The rain must have made them run for cover! I gave up counting at 100 They were everywhere!
A couple of Hebrew Characters and Satellites and a few Pugs.
Here's a Pug ..............

I know there are loads 'n' loads of moffs but I hadn't really paid any attention previously. This ongoing parade is fascinating, Greg

From last nights trap....

Early Grey Lunar Marbled Brown Named because of the 2 crescent 'moons' on its wings

It may be that the photographic system has lost the colour but the Lunar Brown looks very Grey
