Moth trapping!

Mothing season is upon us once more! And with some decent weather and dry spells it has been the perfect time to put out the trap in the garden at nights.

We've been trying out different techniques, locations in the garden and even different traps to entice a different array of Moths down to the trap.

Nothing out of the ordinary and no Hawkmoths as we've been trying to find, however a good collection nonetheless. Pictures below are of several Moths caught over the last couple weeks on seperate Mothing ocassions:

Common marbled carpet

Unidentified sp.

Coxcomb prominent

Orange swift

Possibly a Spruce carpet?

Brimstone

Pug sp.

Another Pug sp.

Bright line brown eye moth

Small angle shades

Heart and dart moth

Buff ermine

Flame shoulder

Unidentified sp.

Common carpet (i think?)

Flame carpet

Peppered moth
