All of these moths were captured and released unharmed around St Ishmaels.
We have also caught the following during these months: Spruce Carpet, Silver Y, Large Yellow Underwing and Setaceous Hebrew Character.
The Large Yellow Underwing has a particularly long flight period - 5 months or so. Some moth trappers have caught literally thousands, in Robinson light traps, in just one night!!
