    You mean November Moth aggregate, virtually impossible to separate from Pale November and Autumnal Moth (y) https://ukmoths.org.uk/species/epirrita-dilutata/

    Last night gave up three Juniper Carpets, a Blair's Shoulder-knot and my latest ever, by four days. Large Yellow Underwing.

    Way too windy here for the last few days to even contemplate putting the light on.

    Black Rustic, Blair's Shoulder-knot, Lunar Underwing and two Juniper carpets was a relatively, major haul for me last night.

    Because you're a coastal county? ;)

    All the M-d J's posted here so far are from coastal counties but there are a couple of records annually in Notts most years. Here's my only D Swordgrass from Notts a few years ago, that is just about annual here.

    The only reason I'm keeping my light going!

    A Beaded Chestnut was only my second record, the species apparently has a Northerly bias in the County.

    Red-line Quaker and Common Marble Carpet was my haul. Probably going to keep going until we leave, especially during this mild spell, hoping my next tick is an Oleander Hawkmoth!

    Tempted by a slightly milder night last night, my return was a single November moth agg.

    Zero for the last two nights here, time to pack it in I think.

    This is a new micro for me, Eudonia angustea, Narrow-winged Grey, looks like someone is working hard at giving micros, common names?

    That looks to be big, size difference indeed Paul. Just two moths last nights as it's turned cold again, Blair's Shoulder-knot and Red-line Quaker.

    Sorry, it was Beaded which I've never had either.

    I'm getting a few bits, latest ever Willow Beauty (fresh looking) last night plus 2 Angle Shades, 2 Black Rustic, Red Green Carpet, Red-line Quaker, Lesser Yellow Underwing, Vine's Rustic and a Barred Sallow. You got Dotted Chestnut the other day which I've never had.

    I had an Angle Shades which sat all day and night too. We have a light outside and it's not uncommon during cold spells, to see a moth remain in the same place under the light, for several days.

    I had another last night which is my latest record for the species and I also had my latest ever Snout which beat the previous latest by over two weeks.

    October Moths - 2021

    I had one last night too which is my latest ever by two days.

    October Moths - 2021

    Numbers do vary but most years, once I get the first one, they'te present almost every night. On one occasion, presumably during a migration, I found 39 individuals at my light in the morning. This year, I had 18 on 11 dates in Aug which dropped to just a single in Sept and last year in Aug, I...

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Can't believe how the status of some common moths can be so different, just a few miles apart, Silver Y is and has always been, very common here

    You need to turn your light off, half an hour earlier, the light has to be off by the time they start to emerge for the day or it's inevitable that they will end up at your light. I got stung three times this autumn!

    Is that now the collective noun for migrants Ken ;)
  24. Andy Adcock

    October Moths - 2021

    Correct, or you can use the old English name of Blue Underwing.
