What’s in the Moth Trap! #5

A better weekend than last, still only eleven species, but four new ones among them. Large yellow underwing takes the prize again for the most numerous, with 23 in the trap and several others knocking around in the grass etc. There were seven lesser yellow underwings this week, which was the only new species from last week’s meagre haul. I have got a photograph this time!

New ones were small wainscot, autumnal rustic, rosy rustic and a probable flounced rustic, although I am not 100% certain of the last one. So any help on that one would be appreciated!
