24th October 2017

A good October catch with some minor migrant action thrown in through a nice Vestal arriving at about 10 pm. 

[384] Vestal

[385] Feathered Thorn
[386] Blair's Shoulder-knot
[387] Brick

I've recorded Vestal just once before (October 2013) but there was always a good chance of one turning up this year as many have been trapped on the coast.



Vestal Rhodometra sacaria
Feathered Thorn is a superb moth and I record one every couple of years it seems:


Feathered Thorn Colotois pennaria
Blair's Shoulder-knot is a regular autumn species:


Blair's Shoulder-knot Lithophane leautieri
The Brick has been fairly scarce in Cottenham - this is just my fifth ever here, all in mid - late October:


Brick Agrochola circellaris
