16 May - Muston moths

Pretty poor. Twice in the last week I have run the moth trap and only got 6 species:

Powdered quaker (Orthosia gracilis)
Common quaker (Orthosia cerasi)
Hebrew character (Orthosia gothica)
Shuttle-shaped dart (Agrotis puta)
Flame shoulder (Ochropleura plecta)
Early grey (Xylocampa areola)

The highest number of any of the species was 5.

Shuttle-shaped dart


Things will hopefully pick up when the nights warm up.
