My First Backyard Macro Moth of 2015!
We’ve had a lot of warm weather recently but my light trap had remained stubbornly empty until last night when 2 Speckled Green Fruitworm (Orthosia hibisci) moths turned up. This is my earliest ever record of a macro moth since I started mothing in 2007. My previous early record was a Dot-and-Dash Swordgrass (Xylena curvimacula) on the 1st April 2013. Hopefully, this is the start of an interesting mothing year.
