Almost a record number of moths for a night at the Hidden House and a new species, with only the 19th August 2009 with more moths . There were 54 micro moths from 15 species and 757 species of macro moths, plus the Hummingbird Hawk-moth that was nectaring in the day time. As predicted Setaceous Hebrew Characters have reached the proportions of a plague with 312 moths (438 on 19/8/2009)! The Bulrush Wainscot was new for the site.
