It was a soggy moth trap this morning, as some quite heavy rain fell early in the morning. As a result there were not too many moths around, but Lunar Underwing and Pale Mottled Willow are both typical of the season. The small pale one, and only new species this morning, is a Vestal (Rhodometra sacraria, #824). This moth is a migrant from the continent which turns up late summer and autumn in varying numbers, but doesn’t survive in UK and become a resident.
