What a lot of Moths!

Post by ianball »

The garden moth trap was full to brimming this morning... but mainly of one species. 66 Large Yellow Underwing crammed in to every nook and cranny!

Meant Small Square Spot :-/

I have to crop the pictures so that they are of a size that the forum will accept them as an insert. Think we are about 200 LYU now for this summer in total.

I would say more like a Small Square-spot,it's well faded so not 100% sure.
