Seeing the Changes 1816

A much more effective moth trap in my Loughor garden last night. Initially, it looked as if the catch consisted of tiny beetles and flies. Under the egg boxes, however, there was an unidentified carpet moth, a plume moth (Emmelina monodactyla); a Brown china-mark (Elophila nymphoeata); a Galium carpet (Epirrhoe galiata); 4 Willow beauties (Peribatodes rhomboidaria); a Great brocade (Eurois occulata), 2 Large yellow underwings (Noctua pronuba) and 8 Heart and darts (Agrostis exclamationalis) in both dark and light versions.
