Species List for 21/07/2020

It seemed a very ordinary night, albeit with one of my favourite moths NFY. Almost the last moths from the last trap had me puzzled, and I posted a picture on Kent Moths FB page, with my first thoughts of an ID. Thanks to Tony Rouse and Dave Shenton, the correct ID was found |(I was close but no cigar) Altogether there were 269 moths of about 64 species with two NFY.

This is the mystery moth.

My initial ID was an aberrant Dusky Thorn, but Tony Rouse suggested August Thorn and Dave Shelton agreed and found a very similar individual on a erman Site'
