A Brick :)
Agrochola circellaris - describing the ring-like markings on the forewings.
Widespread in Glamorgan - but strangely this is only my third in 14 years of trapping

Numbers are slowing down in the moth trap now with only 4/4 moths last night in VC96. One species however made up for it! A stunningly fresh Merveille du Jour!!! 🎉 incredible patterns. A Feathered Thorn was also a nice bonus!

Took my moth trap to my mum's in Suffolk this weekend. An Oak Rustic this morning was a new moth for me. And always a pleasure to see a Merveille du Jour.
Other species were Chestnut, Green-brindled Crescent, Turnip, November Moth agg., Rusty Dot Pearl and LBAM

Southwold, Suffolk VC27 - a chilly cloudy night on a week’s family holiday, a better night, 34 of 13.
Apart from 18 Large Wainscot, the best and both new for trap were a Feathered Thorn & Oak Rustic.

Southwold, Suffolk VC27, the last night of a week long family holiday - a drop to 19 of 9.
However, the star of the show was my first Merveille du Jour of the year, plus another 2 Oak Rustic, and an Epirrita sp.( I’m leaning towards Autumnal Moth - could be wrong.)
