I decided I'll to have another go at the moth trap last night as it will soon be packed up for the winter (sort of). Only 1 Tawny Owl called night. Ib took the previous night's catch taken for a walk to avoid duplicates, the contents were examined this morning and consisted of 14 moths of 11 species -
Brown House Moth (Hofmannophila pseudospretella) 1
Clepsis consimilana 1
Light Brown Apple Moth (Epiphyas postvittana) 2
Red-green Carpet (Chloroclysta siterata) 1
Common Marbled Carpet (Chloroclysta truncata) 1
Spruce Carpet (Thera britannica) 1
Setaceous Hebrew Character (Xestia c-nigrum) 1
Blair's Shoulder-knot (Lithophane leautieri) 2
Sallow (Xanthia icteritia) 2
Angle Shades (Phlogophora meticulosa) 1
Rosy Rustic (Hydraecia micacea) 1
Nothing new so the Waldridge moth list for the year list remains on 239
2-3 Peacock butterflies visited the garden this afternoon, where I disturbed a number of Seven-spot Ladybirds during a tidy-up.
