Turnip Moth (30450285368)

Description:

Description: Garden Catch 26/06/18 - Common but welcome That was the status of most of the moths in the trap this morning, common yes but alway nice to see for the first time each year. A rare moth is great and probably the most exciting aspect of moth trapping, but it's also nice to photograph mint examples and new forms of common moths at the same time. And also not forgetting garden firsts of common moths, like the Brown Scallop that was found on the brick wall behind the trap this morning! Not a particularly colourful moth mind but a welcome addition to the garden list all the same. Turnip Moth was also present and some lovely forms found, one of which really threw me and resembled a dark Crescent Dart! 2 Yellow Shells brought a splash of yellow, one was particularly fresh despite seemingly missing nearly all of it's antennaes! Garden species count for 2018 now upto 275. Here are the new for year species.
