A great start to October

The trap was out on Wednesday anticipating some more Autumn moths, and come the morning the trap was not as busy as it has been but the lack of moths was made up by new moths for the year and seasonal firsts, by seasonal firsts I mean the moths that I had trapped in the Spring, namely Grey Shoulder-knot ( Last seen 29/03/14), Chestnut (31/03/14) and Acleris schalleriana (17/02/14).

Firsts for the year included Blair's Shoulder-knot, Red-line Quaker and Acleris sparsana.
