A breezy night and the temperature down to just under 16 deg C meant fewer moths and fewer species. A new Tortrix, Cochylidia subroseana was pleasing. In addition the first Orange Swift of the year put in an appearance, a day early than in 2011, the previous earliest year. Migrants were represented by a Rush Veneer, a Dark Sword Grass and 14 Silver Ys. In total there were 319 moths of 66 species
A Flounced Rustic. This seems to give problems to some people, but just open up the wings to see the bright white hind wing. This distinguishes it from any confusion species.
The first Orange Swift of the year and on a really early date.
Euzophera pinguis, one of the larger, boldly marked pyralids.
