Catching up with absent friends

Given last year was pretty dismal at the garden trap, there were many moths I would have expected that simply didn't show, thankfully some of these have already put in an appearance this year, including these two, Streamer and Powdered Quaker.


Streamer (Anticlea derivata)

Powdered Quaker (Orthosia gracilis)

Other recent additions to the garden year list include Agonopterix arenella and Alucita hexadactyla
