Notts Moths 2020

My now annual later summer trip back to Nottinghamshire produced a couple of new moths to me in the form of Apotomis capreana and a worn but still distinctive Chrysoclista linneella (Lime Cosmet):

Gold Spots were abundant this year:

While Barred Hook-tip is a species I've only seen in Norfolk previously:

Honeysuckle Moth seems to occur in most of my traps outside of the County but never in my garden:

  1. Hi there. Your Apotomis is betuletana. They sometimes show a slight hook like projection as well.
