September Moths

Okay, so it's November - and high time I got round to checking my records and letting you know what I found in the moth trap in September.  There were a lot of moths, a handful of relatively scarce moths, and a few striking ones.  There was also a rather delicate Mayfly - yes, in September!  Pictures of the best and full lists below.
