    After a very quiet start to the month last night produced a respectable 24 moths of 12 species including my first garden Acleris sparsana (please correct me if I have that wrong, FW 10mm) and a late Plumed Fan-foot which makes 26 for the year over 20 nights.

    September Moths GB&I

    A good start to the month last night, moths included Vestal and two NFG Parectopa ononidis and what I believe is Ectoedemia louisella. Any reason why it shouldn't be?

    Gelechia nigra?

    Gelechia nigra has been suggested for this elsewhere. I've been having this in the trap off and on for the last couple of weeks and have tried to ignore it but as it's been so persistent it deserves an ID :) Is the illustration in Sterling and Parsons mislabelled? Looks nothing like the photos...

    Pearly Underwing or Turnip Moth?

    The first is from last year, no size recorded sorry. I'm going through my pictures hoping for at least one photo decent enough to support my record of each species recorded in my garden. I'm not sure about this one. 2nd photo is from last night of what I think is a Turnip Moth. Cheers Nick

    Brown-tail Yellow-tail

    I had these two a few nights ago. The moth with the black markings near the trailing edge had a deep chocolate-brown tip to the abdomen. As you can see the all white moth has a yellowy orange tip. I recorded them both as Brown-tail, was I correct? (I've never recorded Yellow-tail in my garden)...

    Just a large S.ambigualis?

    Probably the biggest one I've had, at least this year. Or could it maybe be S.basistrigalis or best just left as Scoparid sp. FW 11mm. Cheers Nick
