Since the start of my mothing, I have always enjoyed the switch to autumn and the arrival of moths of the autumn leaf colour rather than brown mud colour and this year the offering has included a welcome selection as we passed the middle of September including some newbies for the garden.
Barred Sallow (orange form) - 22nd Sept. Day after garden first when trapped two of the normal form
Beaded Chestnut - found lurking amongst many of the oranger forms of Lunar Underwing
Dusky Thorn - NFG 24th September
Frosted Orange - NFG 20th September
Orange Sallow - two trapped this year, 26th August and 21st September, previous 25/9/11
Tawny-speckled Pug - this one 12th September, average three a year in the garden
