Clearly temperatures and conditions were better suited for the moth trap last night than I had expected and and such I have a few old and a new species this morning,much to my delight.
The new species is a moth called an Oak Lutestring and in general it is at best a locally recorded species whose larva is totally reliant on Oaks.
The full catch for the night also included a couple of Oak Hook-tips and six September Thorns. As well as the usual LYU(12)(cant get to write it again) and a couple of Setaceous Hebrew Characters. The odd Pine and Spruce Carpets added to the numbers. All in all not bad at all.
