Our garden is becoming famous amongst 'Moth Twitchers'. I now regularly catch Pale Lemon Sallow Xanthia ocellaris. This is only a moderately rare moth, but it apparently it rarely turns up at the same spot twice. I get it each year! This year on 27th September, 2 intrepid 'moth-ers' from Leicestershire turned up with about 10 traps and camped out overnight. Initially, things did not look promising...
However, we finally caught 2 specimens. One of these is immortalised above, from Keith's Mothshots website http://www.mothshots.com/
