Quite nice

An Engrailed from last night's catch.

Stick that in your pencil!

Looks like I finally pulled out a Lead-coloured Drab, after much trying.  Two Double-striped Pugs were also new for the year, but otherwise it was standard stuff – Clouded Drab, Common Quaker, Small Quaker, and Hebrew Character.

Pug on a rug

Had a pretty good haul last night with all the usuals plus a March Moth and a couple of Early Greys, which are always nice to see after all the drabby stuff.

Only one new moth though, this pug. It was on the side of the trap so potted it quickly, then brought it in to try to identify it. It subsequently decided to have a wonder round the room before settling on a hanging wall rug.

As with Ellen's, I think this is probably a Brindled Pug. Anyone want to second that?

Pug sp.

In the absence of Jeremy, I think it might be a Brindled Pug.  Caught two the night before last, amongst common/small/twinspotted quakers, clouded drabs, hebrew characters, chestnuts et al. 

Drabs...

but are they all Clouded?

Put the trap out last night with high hopes of a good haul, but the moths were apparently on a night off, with only 12 turning up. Amongst them was the unusual (and very early) Chinese Character, and a couple of Double-striped Pugs to add to the tally.

A mottley lot

 9th mottled grey of the year so far: plus 20 hebrew characters, 6 common quakers, 5 clouded drabs, 4 small quakers, 1 twin-spotted quaker, 1 shoulder stripe, 1 march moth and 1 chestnut.
