July is the month of the greatest diversity of macro moth species in my garden, though that figure may be partly affected by the number of weeks of August I have been away since I started the trap. A nice start to the month with the first warm night for a while, a Newbie and a trap full of monsters. Here's looking forward to a few more over the next couple of weeks...
Figure of Eighty - new for garden 2nd July
Deckboard of Hawkmoths - 2nd July - still not had Lime here
Shaded Pug - one of a handful in the last half of June
Bordered Pug - another one that is easier to identify
Shoulder-striped Wainscot - into double figures on these this year
Nicely marked Short-cloaked Moth
Peppered Moth of form insularia (or close)
