26th October 2017

There's still some of the more 'standard' autumn species missing from the garden list, and two of these turned up this time around - two Red-green Carpet and a single Red-line Quaker. In addition, a large tortrix appears to be Acleris sparsana which although underwhelming in appearance is completely new for me.

There was also another excellent Feathered Thorn:

Although the most surprising moth was a Dark Arches, the first time I've caught a second generation individual. My previous latest record was 4th September!
