Dewick's Plusia (Macdunnoughia confusa)
Dewick's Plusia (Macdunnoughia confusa)
Overcast and a bit damp meant quite good conditions. 114 moths of 26 species. The star moth was a Dewick's Plusia, new for the site. Delicate, Dark Sword Grass and Rush Veneer made up the other migrants (or are the Turnips visitors?). Mallow and Black Rustic were new for the year.
