A much better night for the moth trap with overcast skies, no moon and some lingering warmth which produced a good catch compared to the previous night.
Angle shades 1, white ermine 3, pale mottled willow 2, broken-barred carpet 1, green pug 2, heart & club 1, small magpie 2, Udea olivalis 1, heart & dart 9, clay 2, varied coronet 1, brimstone 1, rufous minor 1, water carpet 1, minor sp 5, setaceous hebrew character 1, large yellow underwing 1 and turnip moth 1.
Turnip Moth, lets face it not known for their great markings but I like them.
Rufous Minor
Heart and Dart
Broken-barred Carpet, I think?
Brimstone (Is this a better looking beastie than brimstone butterfly?)

I love moth names, keep 'em coming John
Stunning John, I've always wanted to do a moth trap, your photos will do for now though. Got a mouse to try and film for now.
