Considering it was a cool night...I was quite pleased with 23 moths of 8 species...Highlights being Orange Swift and Centre Barred Sallow a life tick, plus a micro that I haven't been able to ID, due to not having any micro reference, although having had this sp before on a number of occasions.

Your micro is actually a caddis fly. Quite a striking one though!

Not much of note here last night (smartest was Swallow Prominent) but Light Emeralds are starting to build up again and LYUWs are finally appearing in larger numbers with 64 last night alone.

30+ LYU's in the trap last night along with a single Pale Mottled Willow. A trip to the New Forest today yielded a couple of Brown China-marks and a Feathered Gothic (thanks to Kalle for the confirmation).

Only the one moth of note trapped last night - The Streak, a much needed NFM!!
Hopefull tonight though, with cloud cover and a forcast minimum 13 Deg. overnight, should get something??

Not seen much so far in Sept but did get my first oak lutestring and common wainscot of the year on Friday night. Otherwise, mostly square-spot rustics, six-striped rustics and feathered gothics.
