Spring catch-up part I

What with the Easter hols and family duties the blog has suffered but thankfully the mothing has been pretty good, particularly with regards early stage finds too.  However, just wanted to get blog updated with trap visitors...

Scorched Carpet


Acleris literana


Brindled Beauty


Waved Umber

Pennants galore

Four Streamer to the garden trap in the past two nights, always nice to see this spring moth.

Early call to the Bar

The Purple Bar to be precise.  Another very early record in the garden last night, 31.iii.2014, again far and away my earliest ever record.
