After a couple of weeks anticipating, I have trapped one of the scarcer local Xanthia sp giving me the first garden tick of the autumn season. I have been getting steady catches of the regular species but this is the first "notable" for a couple of weeks for me.
Orange Sallow - garden first 25th Sept
The Sallow - new for year 25th Sept, last year I caught only a couple of darker individuals in October
Large Ranunculus - getting a few of these, this one a smart pale variation
Black Rustic - another regular at Wychwood Moths from mid-Sept onwards
Spruce Carpet - like many species, scarcer in 2011 than 2010
