It was a dry but very cool night. In fact, when I went through the moth trap at 5:30 am this morning it was only 6.6 Celsius! Luckily, it has now warmed up nicely so the moth numbers should start to increase again. Anyway, there were 19 moths of 9 species in the bait and light traps including one Semirelict Underwing (Catocala semirelicta). There was one new species for the year, a Collard Dart (Agnorisma bugrai). I've also included a photograph of a male Finland Dart (Actebia fennica). Males have a broad pale rusty-orange border along the inner edge of the forewings. How about that! I can actually determine the sex of a moth...! :) Seriously though, this is one of a very short list...
