The warmer nights since the mini cold snap a few days ago has triggered a hatch of Double-striped Pugs with two around the lights last night.

The bulk of the catch over the last 5 nights has been Light Brown Apple Moths,
Epiphyas postvittana, with 15 records, and Common Plume,
Emmelina monodactyla, with 5.

A second Sprawler this year was a good find on the 13th Nov. and only my 3rd ever garden record in 5 years of trapping.
Also on the 13th was a Red-green Carpet and a worn Lesser Yellow Underwing.

It's been a good year for the little migrant micro
Plutella xylostella, The Diamond-back Moth, with record garden totals this year.
One more was in the trap last night ...

... and I almost overlooked a Grey Shoulder-knot on the light coloured stone wall near the trap.
