Although the temperature only dropped to about 12 deg C there was a disappointing collection of 32 moths of 15 species, this morning. The postman improved the day by delivering the New Micro Moths Field Guide and Conifer Moths of the British Isles. My excuses for not identifying micros are diminishing! I've also up-loaded a couple more pictures of the Lunar Double-stripe below.
