September Moths

As much as I love putting the moth trap out, it really is hard work trying to work out what species I have trapped. I'm still trying to ID moths from July.

Bird watching is definitely easier, but I like a challenge, but probably only once a month.

Today's trappings were: 69 moths, 6 Caddis Fly (Limnephilus lunatus) and a good candidate for an Acorn Weevil, Curculio glandium

The moths I have been able to ID so far are:

Large Yellow Underwings, Noctua pronuba (38)
Lesser Yellow Underwing, Noctua comes (2)
Common Marbled Carpet, Dysstroma truncata (3)
Garden Carpet, Xanthorhoe fluctuata (1)
Light Brown Apple Moth, Epiphyas postvittana (5)

Rosy Dot Pearl, Udea ferrugalis  (1)

Here are the rest with duplicates no doubt!!
