Friday September 2

After a very quiet week, moth-wise, two turned up in the bathroom last night.

One was another Garden Carpet, but the other was a brown noctuid I was unable to name. However, an email to Michael Southall has produced the answer. It was a Flounced Rustic (great name), and was a moth tick for me and also for our bathroom.

Flounced Rustic

Garden Carpet

It seems that Flounced Rustic is an autumn-flying moth which is quite familiar to the local mothers (pronounced moth-ers).
