July Moths

We have only managed to put out the moth trap once so far this month, but we had a bumper bundle when we opened it on Saturday morning.  We had more than 80 moths in total, at least 10 of which we had never recorded here before.  The full list is detailed below, with photos  of some of the more interesting ones.

* The asterisked ones are the ones we have not seen here before.  Not that they are particularly rare, it's just that we haven't been doing it that long.

All these moths have been recorded on iRecord, but as yet some haven't been verified.  I'll update the post when they are confirmed. (Updated 22 July 15)
