The weather forecast was pretty bad, so just two traps out, each tucked away out of the rain. There were still quite a few moths, and one big surprise. Six days ago I caught a Hedge Rustic, and it was quite distinct because it had a crumpled bottom to the left wing. Today I caught a Hedge Rustic, again with a similarly damaged left wing. It would seem impossible that a second moth was similarly damaged and I have to conclude that it is the same moth, which I think is remarkable. Overall there were 184 moths of 18 species.
