August Moths

So far September has been a busy month, so it's taken me a while to get round to noting the moths that we found in August. But here they are - the weather wasn't as hot and dry as it should be in a normal August (if there is such a thing) so numbers were down, but there were still a few 'firsts' in the trap.  Pictures and catch lists below.
