Pannel Valley moths

7th April 2010, Wednesday

At last a mild night and time to get the moth trap out and give it a good airing. Expecting a few moths, I was amazed to catch 269 individuals of ten species. As expected for this time of year the commonest three species were Small Quaker, Hebrew Character and Common Quaker but there were single Mottled Grey and Shoulder Stripe to add interest.
