At last a really good night. 101 moths of 34 species (not including some micros for ID). Highlights were newbies in the form of Poplar Grey, Bordered Pug and the incredibly variable Clepsis spectrana (Cyclamen Tortrix). Other goodies were Buff Arches, Swallowtail and lots of Common and Scarce Footman.
A lady in the village rang me last night about a moth she found whilst painting her fence. She brought it round and it was a female Leopard Moth. A species I have only ever once trapped in Thornton (2004 I think). As of this morning she has laid hundreds of eggs (the Leopard not my neighbour).
