Garden Moths - 4th July 2013

A friend was kind enough to come round to my house and set up a moth trap as an introductory experience into our night time visitors. I had no idea what would be waiting for us in the morning but safe to say that every species would be new to me.

When Steve returned the following morning at day break he spend time identifying everything for me and the following list developed. 61 species and 209 individual moths.
