Five whole moths were lured into the winter moth garden from the bowels of hell overnight ... yes that's right ... five! They were singles of Light Brown Apple Moth, Winter Moth, Satellite, Dark Chestnut and Silver Y. They are the first moths I've taken here since a Silver Y on the night of December 11th. (Phil M)

The garden moth trap confined to quarters in the shed these recent stormy and frosty nights. A single Winter Moth was resting on the outside light this morning until I potted it briefly for a photo.      (Bill Martin)

While I continue to catch up to three species of micro moth most nights the macro moths fell away after the night of November 21st. I did catch a nice male December Moth on the night of the 29th and there were 2 Silver Y's in the traps from last night. There were still Common Darter, Bumblebee, Hoverfly etc on the wing yesterday afternoon at Pegwell so to catch a few moths isn't too much of a shock even for here at this late time of year. (Phil M)
