File:(2155) Dot Moth (Melanchra persicariae) (5882002330).jpg

Another superb night, very VERY mild, at 20 degrees at 1am in the morning! Cripes! so as a result so so many moths it was unbelieveable, still a smiliar species amount around 60, but some crackers including my first ever Red-necked Footman, it's about the 5th County record so very pleased with that! either a wanderer or an immigrant...other species of note were Waved Black & Leopard Moth which were both site ticks. There were also plenty of micro's new for the year as well, and I will be sorting the full catch out in due course.
