(1931) Peppered Moth (Biston betularia) f.carbonaria - Flickr - Bennyboymothman

Back to the garden after a week break A whole week has gone by since the last trapping effort in the garden, couple with being busy with work and family commitments I haven't had the time to do it, but all changed last night when I put it out under a cloudy evening hoping for some new species. This morning a good selection of moths in the trap with the usual suspects, but it was clear and a little on the cool side. A grand total of 13 new for the garden and a further 6 new for the year! Highlights were Barred Yellow and Pammene regiana.
