Summary[edit] Description: 3rd new Macro Moth for 2018 Friday night I ran the trap after another warm and muggy day with highs of 23 degrees, it felt a bit warmer than that with the humidity. There wasn't a great deal in the trap come the morning as it was rather cool and misty, but a new moth for my garden and one I haven't seen very often and being my 12th record in 12 years with most of my records from mature woodland. The moth in question was Dingy Shell, quite a distinctive looking moth and unusual in the fact that it sits like a Butterfly. Garden species count for 2018 now upto 120. Here is last Friday's new for year species.
