species List for 5/10/2014

The cooler weather and windy night has brought a halt the three figure counts I've been having this Autumn. One new species for the year, a Blair's Shoulder-knot and the return of Red-green Carpet. This moth over winters and then flies again in the spring. Most of my records are in the Autumn, and only in this year, 2011 and 2004 have I recorded it in spring. In total there were 55 moths of 15 species, and Beaded Chestnut was the most numerous for the first time.
