Some autumn moths


Mallow


Garden Rose Tortrix

Acleris sparsana

Treble-bar

Frosted Orange
Mothing has been hopeless for weeks now, and I seriously considered stopping for the winter a few days ago, after a catch of three familiar moths. However, the weather has gone mild and interesting over the last couple of nights, so I have got the trap out again, and finally got a couple of desired autumn moths. In addition to one or two slightly unseasonally late moths, such as Treble-bar, I have added four species to the garden list (now 114) in the last couple of nights:
Garden Rose Tortrix
Acleris sparsana
Mallow and
Frosted Orange
