Moths!!!

Managed to capture two moths last night, a fine haul! First up another Pale brindled Beauty of the patterned type. These moths also come in a melansistic (black) form, a specimen of which can be seen at www.mostlymacro.blogspot.com , whether this form is more common the further north you go I am unsure.

The second was a new one for me, a Spring Usher. This moth didn't enter the light trap but was on a nearby door, it is another of the early moths and can be quite variable to very plain, luckily this one is excellently marked. The years moth total now stands at.....4!!
