Shocked and a little dismayed. Low overnight temperatures (down to 6.3°C!) were never going to help but 7 of 4 sp. mid-July is unprecedented VC61 #TeamMoth @gardenmothscheme.bsky.social

Day 4 #30DaysWild First moth trap of June. The male & female ghost moths were definitely the highlight. I’ve never seen a male before; green pug is also a new moth for the garden & peppered moths are one of my favourites @gardenmothscheme.bsky.social #TeamMoth @scotwildlife.bsky.social #Springwatch

An interesting trap for @gardenmothscheme.bsky.social last night VC61 37 of 23 (a couple of prob Notocelia's to check) Most exciting of all though was a lifer in Small Mottled Willow. Specimen retained so hope to get a better picture. Hardly the Scarborough invasion of 2024 but chuffed. #TeamMoth
