Species List for 11/09/2026

 Four traps, a 125W Robinson in the Back Garden, a 125W MV Robinson in the Pond Garden, a 15W Actinic in the Front Garden, and a 80W MV Skinner in the Greenhouse Garden. The wind was a light 2-5 mph, and the min temp around 14 deg C. There were 514 moths of 53 species and two NFY. The Light Pinion is the first Autumn record I have had here (but I did have an Oct record on St Mary's in 2018), and having missed any in Spring it was the first of the year. The  Agonopterix nervosa  was just the 3rd identified here.
