A 'quieter' night in Harby, Leics (24/9) with just the 4 Clancy's Rustics, 3 Vestals and 3 Deep-brown Darts. Such a weird season... #vc55moths #teammoth

This morning I was quite satisfied with my first Merveille du Jour of the year, but then I realised a 'pearl' was not one of thevusual ones, having a terminal white bar: Loxostege sticticalis (Mugwort Pearl) which has very few county records, maybe just four in Septemver 2022 #teammoth #VC55Moths

Sweet, another NFG here in Whetstone Leics. Clancy's Rustic also new to me completely, albeit one I was expecting. I wasn't expecting Deep-brown Dart, the first here since 2000. Orange Sallow always nice to see, and a cracker amongst x6 Vestals. #teammoth #vc55moths

Feels faintly ridiculous to say that Delicate, new to my Whetstone Leics. garden trap last night, was actually an overdue and expected arrival. It is almost certainly resident here in Leics. now, like so many other recent colonists. #vc55moths #teammoth

Not very green, but this looks like just my 2nd ever Brindled Green. In the company of the first Black Rustic of the autumn and my 2nd Vestal of the year. #teammoth #VC55Moths

Some of the nicer autumn moths are starting to turn up now amongst the sea of late summer brown: Autumnal Rustic and Orange Sallow both NFG, and Brown-spot Pinion NFY. OK, the latter is still brown, but it's not a yellow underwing or a Square-spot Rustic! #VC55Moths #TeamMoth

Just went to release last night's moths and found this knackered Bordered Straw sp hiding behind the MV trap. ObsID was split c50/50, but I think it's Scarce. Either would be NFY. Not a lot else of interest apart from a Vestal and the first Black Rustics of the year. #VC55Moths #TeamMoth

Evergestis extimalis in my garden last night, Harby, Leics 4/9/26 - a bit worn, but I'm not complaining. What a year this species has had! #vc55moths #teammoth

Sums up this season! Whilst leaf-mining in Great Dalby, Leics I kicked a moth off the verge in the middle of the village. It turned out to be a Vestal... #vc55moths #teammoth
