Mothed Under

Mothing has been fast and furious over the last week. I've been out and about mothing with a night at Humshaugh, where I trapped my first Elephant and Poplar Hawk-moths, a family members garden in Whitley Bay and my own. I've added a Skinner trap with 2 x 30W actinic tubes at home and it's pulling in a lot of additional moths.

Here's a three new species from the last few days.
