All of these moths were captured and released unharmed around St Ishmaels.
A good number are camera shy - so in addition to what we see here we have also caught the following this month: flame shoulder, brimstone moth, setaceous hebrew character, large yellow underwing, ingrailed clay, common rustic, common marbled carpet, green carpet, lesser yellow underwing,
At the end of the month only 4 species in overnite trap - winter draws nigh!!
