Two Green Brindled Crescent moths, one brown, one with green edges

I don’t think I could ever get bored of a Merv in the trap 💚

25/10 sp last night, even with good conditions (cloud cover and mild). 4 Merv’s bumped the numbers up, Dark Sword Grass, Barred Sallow, Red-Green Carpet and Brown Spot Pinion creeping the new garden list up to 20. North Herefordshire #TeamMoth
Two of the 4 Merveille du Jour caught last night in the moth trap. North Herefordshire SO24

There’s a greenhouse in there somewhere…
A wooden framed greenhouse inundated with brambles Brambles removed! Going to need some new glass and may need to replace some of the woodwork but generally pretty solid!

Disappointing 😒 I was going to try and trap tonight after a few days off with whatever virus the boys have brought back form school 🤧

A respectable 61/14 last night - first moth to greet me was a Merveille du Jour and it was great to finally meet a Satellite and Carcina quercana, both absent from our old garden despite being quite common locally. Box fresh Sallow also a treat and two Black rustic #TeamMoth

North Herefordshire, SO24 Carcina quercana, a brown micro moth with long antennae and golden yellow edges to its wings North Herefordshire, SO24 A lovely fresh Sallow. An autumnal yellow moth with brown markings on the wings. North Herefordshire, SO24
