Shuttle-shaped Dart moth.
The moth box was on overnight in my back garden and despite a cool and probably cloudless night, there was one new moth for the year to kick off a new month, a Shuttle-shaped Dart. The moth was on one of the egg trays as was a late Early Grey moth, but apart from a few micro moths, most of the moths were outside of the moth box. The following moths were present this morning:
- 1 Shuttle-shaped Dart
- 1 Double-striped Pug
- 1 Early Grey
- 1 Mompha divisella
- 9 Light Brown Apple Moth
- 4 Tachystola acroxantha
Early Grey moth.
While I was checking the moths, I heard the distinctive chatter of a Swallow flying over and so I stopped what I was doing and located the bird flying west over the rooftops. A lovely way to start the day.
