Seeing the Changes 1649

Much more activity in the Loughor garden moth trap last night. Various assorted pugs and 3 moths that were difficult to identify. Eleven Willow beauty (Peribatoides rhomboidaria); 2 Large yellow underwing (Noctua pronuba); 2 Heart and dart (Agrostis exclamationis); a single Herald (Scoliopteryx libratrix) and a single Pale tussock (Calliteara punipunda).
