Drip, drip, drip

No not the sound of rain, for once, but the excruciatingly slow trickle of moths to the garden trap. Micros to the trap are almost non-existent, thankfully dusking and early stage searches continue to prove fruitful.

Only three species to the trap last night:

Shuttle-shaped Dart, Brimstone and Chinese Character (nfy).

Chinese Character (Cilix glaucata)

Dusking was much  better yesterday evening, with micros much better represented (more of which over on the kent micro moths blog: http://kentmicromoths.blogspot.co.uk/

The only macros on the dusking foray were Green Carpet and Spectacle.

Spectacle (Abrostola tripartita)
