23rd April 2013 .. New Moth for The Dells garden

A warm calm evening, almost perfect for the moth traps apart from a 95% bright waxing moon.
There was a nice surprise in the actinic trap this morning, a Brindled Beauty, new for the garden.

1927 .. Lycia hirtaria .. Brindled Beauty

Other year first visitors were :-
Brimstone Moth and Twenty-plume Moth, plus a tiny micro that defied the limits of my little Panasonic Lumix
That one will go to Mr Manning for ID.

1906 .. Opisthograptis luteolata .. Brimstone Moth
