Species List for 16/10/2023

 Very rarely do you find a moth in a trap that simply takes your breath away. Last night was one such night, when I looking in the 80W MV trap in the vegetable garden and saw a Death's-head Hawk-moth clung to the inside. It was even more impactful as it had been the most wan

ted moth for the boys on our trip to the Scilly Isles. We missed it there, but this one made up for that for me. In total there were 40 moths of 16 species with two NFY (one of course a first ever for me).
