Four hundred to go

As predicted,  the moth trap held a number of new species for the year with a few additional last night too. The best one however, a Netted Pug was the first for the garden (and 10km square!) but it wasn't in the trap but on the garden bench. Me being still half asleep at 5am  was a bit shocked (to put it mildly) and before I could get near it to pot it up, it was off into the roses, and never seen again. Fortunately its an unmistakable moth.

As I said the moths pushed me easily through the 600 barrier with the new ones being

594. Tethea ocularis (Figure of Eighty)
595. Rusina ferruginea (Brown Rustic)
596. Mimas tiliae (Lime Hawk-moth)
