New garden, new moth list - 7th May 2016

Finally charged the battery and dusted off the trap for a first trapping night at the new house. The first moth seen was a Nut-tree tussock on the outside of the trap. Overall there was a moderate result of 9 species:

[1] Nut-tree Tussock
[2] Pale Tussock
[3] Red Twin-spot Carpet
[4] Pine Beauty
[5] Angle Shades
[6] Shuttle-shaped Dart
[7] Swallow Prominent
[8] Powdered Quaker
[9] Early Grey

No micros of any persuasion. Pine Beauty is possibly the scarcest species - I only recorded it 2/3 times in the old garden. 

So the Corbett Street moth list ended on a respectable 455. Merveille du Jour ended up being the final addition which was a suitable way to finish I would say. 

Nut-Tree Tussock Colocasia coryli

Pale Tussock Calliteara pudibunda

Swallow Prominent Pheosia tremula
