More moths this morning.

Sunday 29th September 2024.


Scarce Bordered Straw.

A blowy, overcast start to the morning as I checked out the results of having my Moth Box from overnight. Pick of the moths was another Scarce Bordered Straw, a rare moth to Hampshire from the Continent. Two Clancy’s Rustics were notable and all the usual Autumn fare was present. A total of 31 moths of 15 species were present which was a lot better than yesterday morning.
