I believe that the rain arrived quite late, but it was raining when I rescued the two actinic traps at 4.30am. Fortunately the traps themselves were fairly dry. The modest catch included two
Hadena sp. which I think are Lychnis rather than Campion, but I'm happy to be corrected on that:
A nice example of that fascinating moth, Pale Prominent, the shape of which never ceases to amaze:
And a grey noctuid which is probably a Dusky Brocade because I can't think what else it might be, but confirmation or contrary opinion would be appreciated:
With the usual caveat of waiting for a second opinion re my comments on photos....yes, Chris it does look like a dusky brocade...and it`s too early for the similar confused....
ReplyDeleteI would confirm that it is a Dusky brocade of which I trapped 3 on Monday night
ReplyDeleteYes to the lychnis as well as the dusky brocade
ReplyDeleteThanks for the confirmation, guys, it helps the confidence when I get it right!
