Orton Waterville, 19 Mar 10

A few highlights from last night's catch:

1. Yellow Horned - uncommon locally and new for the garden list.


2. Acleris cristana - another rare moth in the VC but regular in the garden. A variable species - this form is my favourite, although this particular individual is worn and less contrasting than some.


3. Twin-spotted Quaker - new for year.

2189 Twin-spotted Quaker Orthosia munda
The only moth attracted to the trap so far this year, but a first for the garden.
